The Lunar Commission made permanent its trial policy of screening out-migration solely on physical and mental examination with no percentage points either plus or minus from past record. The Director said: “In a new world a man must start with a clean slate. No other policy is practical.” Under sharp questioning he admitted that contributions for unsubsidized vocations remained unchanged but insisted that this was a fiscal matter controlled by the condominium governments and in no way affected the basic principle.
HOT WORDS IN CAP-PUN DEBATE: “‘—does not deter!’ So he tells us. Is the Senator from the great State of Puerto Rico aware that our major problem is recidivism? Can the Senator cite one case in which a killer committed still another murder after he was executed?”
“Whee! Joe, see how she runs before the wind!”
“Swell.”
“Gets me clear down in my gizzard,” Joan Eunice said happily. “Let’s go aft. Winnie’s got the wheel and be sure to be impressed; she’s proud as can be that Tom has let her go on the watch list. She’s a natural sailor, salt water in her veins. Gigi, what’s the matter, dear? You aren’t smiling. Feeling queasy?”
“A little, maybe.”
“I must admit that the ‘Pussy Cat’ does have a rocking-horse motion when she’s running free. Love it myself but some don’t. Never mind, dear; Doctor Roberto has a surefire pill for tipsy tummy. I’ll fetch you one and in five minutes the motion won’t bother you and you’ll be hungry as a horse.”
“I don’t take pills, Joan. I’m all right.”
“You aren’t all right and when we go below you won’t want lunch and Hester told me she was fixing something special in your honor. Look, darling, Roberto feeds these pills to Winnie—one before breakfast every day and he had her on them for morning sickness before they came aboard. He’s a careful doctor, hon; he wouldn’t give them to his own wife if they could hurt. Nobody ever gets a pill of any sort in the ‘Pussy Cat’ unless our ship’s surgeon dispenses it. Pretty please? Huh?”
“Gigi.”
“Yes, Joe.”
“Take pill.”
“Yes, Joe. Thanks, Joan, I do feel fluttery. I guess you think I’m silly but I’ve seen so many kids hooked on pills I’m scared of ‘em.”
“I don’t like pills but I take ‘em when Doctor Roberto says to. He’s got me on supplements right now for this little monster inside me. You stay up here in the breeze, dear, while I find Roberto.”
“‘Sailing, sailing, over the bounding main!’ “Mr. Jacob Salomon bellowed, as he swung up into the control console.
“Morning. Ski.”
“Good morning, Captain. On port tack with basic course one five—”
“I see what it is. Beat it down below and get your breakfast.” Salomon slid into the saddle and glanced at the compass as he took the wheel. “We didn’t leave you anything but you can scrounge ship’s biscuit out of the lifeboat.”
“Hester won’t let me starve, sir.”
“Nor Olga. Now beat it.” Jake eyed his sails, decided he could point a touch higher, reached out with his right hand to the running rigging controls, kept tapping a switch to shorten his main sheet, his eye on her mainsail, while he handled the wheel by touch till he had her settled down on a lighter tack. Then he adjusted his jibe and relaxed.
“Good morning, Captain.”
“Tom, save that for witnesses. It’s all very well for Mrs. Salomon to want me dubbed with an honorary title but we all know who’s the sailing master by our ship’s papers. You’re skipper and have the responsibility; I’m just the owner and unlicensed first mate. Eunice ought not to do it—but we have to cater to the little darlings. Speaking of little darlings, how are your two this fine morning? Didn’t see Eve at breakfast.”
“She ate before you got up, sir. Seen her and told her she’s goin’ to have to wear pants from now on, except in the pool or near it.”
