The resort town of Negril easily seduces the stressed-out Yankee into doing nothing but sitting at a hotel's beachside bar and staring out at the turquoise sea as it laps against the sandy shore, drinking a Red Stripe and perhaps casting the odd glance at a "European" sunbather or two. Although the goal of a hard-earned Caribbean vacation may be relaxation, this sort of sendentary behavior would run counter to Jamaica's motto: "Out of many, one people."

Since then, she has become a pop-culture figure...
...oceans." But Jean-Michel--architect, sailor, diver and filmmaker--apparently never enjoyed the confidence of his father. More commercial-minded than the Captain, Jean-Michel left the society in 1993 to produce environmental films. In 1995 Cousteau sued his son for using the family name on a Fiji Island resort. They settled out of court...
