Esther, whose medium is cold water, poured plenty of it on officers' wives jammed in the New London officers' club to meet her, icily asked them to leave so she could "talk business" with their husbands. Later Esther slid down the Trout hatch in a skirt that swung all eyes to the ladder, forced another costume change (back on land again) that delayed shooting for hours. Finally Esther walked out a day and a half before Producer Saudek was through. Saudek went on without her, praised the Navy's exquisite forebearance. Cracked...

Re-nesting ducks flocked to the areas, were able...

He keeps about ten cameras in a special frame on top of the engine hatch, garners up to 500 negatives on a good day. Every picture taken by him or his sons bears the same credit line: Morris Rosenfeld. Rosy's pictures bring as much as $5,000 each. They often settle fouling claims for bedeviled racing officials, and solve design problems for stumped yacht architects...
