Someone told me this morning about this incident from 1972 when a 27 year old artist tried to throw Robert McNamara off the ferry from Martha's Vineyard. I had never heard of the incident.
Robert Stone used the idea in the story The Wine-Dark Sea that it in his collection of short stories called FUN WITH PROBLEMS. It is my favorite story in the book.
