...unfortunate that the HCUA chose to hang its proposal on the distinction between "date nights" and other nights.

At each command, the helmsman altered course, and the 65-ft. test ship Alan threaded neatly among islands and inlets. Each change in direction and speed was instantly recorded by the moving...
