The usual run of big names flew into Rome's Fiumicino Airport that day, Ava Gardner, Adlai Stevenson and a few others. Nothing much there, thought reporters. Ava and Adlai were both heading to Naples, but that did not even raise an aha. That night Adlai climbed aboard the yacht of a friend for a short vacation cruise before heading for a Paris NATO meeting. The next morning Ava also embarked on the yacht of a friend. Yawwwn, reacted the press. Until someone suddenly remembered they both got on the same yacht. Cowabunga! said the newsmen, and raced to pick up the pieces. But Spanish-American Industrialist Ricardo Sicre's Rampager had already sailed with the big eggs aboard, leaving nothing but scrambled facts behind. No one even knew for sure just who else was along. And it looked like as long as the yacht stayed at sea, so would everyone else.
