...challenger, Outward Bound, was a miniature: only 38 ft. overall, built 25 years ago as a pleasure boat on the same sturdy lines as an old New York Harbor pilot boat. She is owned and skippered by Milton T. ("Nick") Craig, 44, an engineer who sails her out of Marion, Mass., with four of his own brood, aged 7 to 16, as crew.

"It was beside the dead body of someone he loved," wrote Freud, "that he invented spirits, and his sense of guilt at his satisfaction, mingled with his sorrow, turned these newborn spirits into evil demons that...
...originally wanted to design a camera that did not have to be unfolded before becoming usable. But after testing several mockups, including one that electronically scanned the picture area, he decided that the negative needed for Polaroid photography was too large for any lens that could not be extended outward simply by a bellows. By the time he returned to the concept of a pop-out model, two years had been lost...
