Stevenson, 41, permitted a comely go-go dancer to do her uninhibited stuff-topless-aboard his Finback, a nuclear-powered attack submarine, which was docked at Port Canaveral, Fla.

...apparent heart attack; in Toronto. Chapin's spare, muscular style, which he called "environmental realism" developed during five years of sketching the Marvins, a hardscrabble New Jersey farm family he lived with in the mid-1920s.
