...Respect. The professional sheen is applied by a cherubic-looking producer named Worthington Miner, 49, who came to television ten years ago with a directorial credit list of Broadway hits (Five Star Final, Reunion in Vienna, On Your Toes).

She also performed yeoman service in World War II, carrying 384,586 servicemen to & from battle. Never once was the Aquitania, known as "Grannie," fired on. Between wars she averaged a trip a fortnight from Southampton to New York, carried some 700,000 passengers.
