Featured: Safe in the Harbour (Barely)

Theme Lighthouse: Jupiter The closest lighthouse to Palm Beach.  In an area where everything is new, a beacon to remind us that everything isn't.	Shortly after my family moved to Palm Beach, my mother visited the Embassy Travel Bureau to make some arrangements to go to Europe.  The Bureau was owned by Nigel and Yvelyne "Deedy" Marix (Deedy was later Mayor of Palm Beach.)  Nigel, a very proper Englishman, asked my mother, "Have you every been abroad?" "All my life," was my mother's response. Our purpose here, as was her's, is to get past some of the hype and stuffiness and to see the place in a different light. The pieces here are as follows:
	Around the Island	Some "miscellaneous" musings and photographs of life in Palm Beach.
	Around South Florida	Beyond Palm Beach is a region of great beauty, but one that has suffered much at the hands of its developers. Some photos from the past of landscapes that have dissappeared.
	A Royal Visit	Royalty--such as the Duke of Windsor--were and are a part of the Palm Beach scene. This is our exclusive story about a royal visit to our own family.
	A State of Being	What can a prominent socialite teach us about the nature of God?  Quite a lot, as it turns out.
	The Home Church	A "home church" evokes images of little country churches and fervent worship. Not in Palm Beach.
	In the Picture	My mother gets an idea about family portraits.  The cat has other plans.  Find out who wins.
	Join the Club (Maybe Not!)	Palm Beach has many unique traditions and customs. Some of them are very charming. Some need to go. This is one of the latter.
	On His Level	The cat hits the wall. Well, not quite. But he showed us that, to communicate, you must be "on his level."
	On the Water	Yachting is an appropriate activity for the Palm Beacher. But it does have its moments.
Palm Beach Golf Classic	A look at a charity event at the Breakers, including some shots of golf greats Jack Nicklaus and Sam Snead. We'll also prove to you why Pete Dye courses have so many water holes.
Running Rusty	A lesson from the dog track -- when the demands of life get too high, don't give up -- they'll probably get worse.
Safe In the Harbour -- Barely	Bigger isn't always better, even in Palm Beach.  A lesson from yachting.
When You Need A Native Guide	Walk into any bar and you'll find people who think they know everything.  This is an example of how one bar inhabitant found out differently--the hard way.
The Miami Herald Gets It Right About Honduras I’ve had very few nice things to say over the years about the Miami Herald (the paper I grew up on) but this time Glenn Garvin nails it, on the subject of Honduras: Here’s a question for all these new-found defenders of Honduran democracy: Where were you last week? Perhaps if some of these warnings about [...]
Is This Any Way to Run an Election?	The U.S. Presidential election put South Florida back in the news.  This is our take on it.
