There was also something of the penitent in Nasser as he turned from piety to politics and the humiliating purpose of his visit to Saudi Arabia. He had arrived in Jedda harbor aboard his presidential yacht Hurriah (Freedom) to negotiate with King Feisal a way out of the stalemated three-year war in Yemen. Egypt's ruler was ready to compromise, for his long, expensive military campaign on the Arabian peninsula was an obvious failure...
...Yachts, yachts, yachts. New York's Senator Jacob Javits, 61, scampered up the gangway of what he thought was the Honey Fitz outward bound for U.S. Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach's floating dinner party for the Senate Judiciary Committee. "Isn't that just like Lyndon?" thought Javits. "If there is a party somewhere in town, he'll be there."

"The captain," he shouted, "is dead...
Frank Sinatra cannot help it. His protests notwithstanding, he does things the noticeable way. Tired after a recent concert tour, Frank announced that he needed a month-long vacation and chartered the Southern Breeze, a 168-ft. yacht owned by Houston Businessman C. W. Edwards, for a reported $2,000 a day. Mostly he asked people his own age-respectable Hollywood matrons such as Claudette Colbert, Merle Oberon, Rosalind Russell, and their husbands. He also invited Mia Farrow, 20-year-old daughter of Actress Maureen O'Sullivan and the late Director John Farrow. The ensuing voyage was probably...
