Something for Kennedy watchers: JOHN F. KENNEDY JR. and DARYL HANNAH,
the actress, were spotted this week on a scuba-diving vacation in
Palau, a United States territory in the Caroline Islands in the South
Pacific.
Mr. Kennedy, who resigned from his job as an assistant district
attorney in Manhattan last month, and Ms. Hannah, who played a mermaid
in the movie "Splash," arrived in Palau last week and are to leave for
the Philippines tomorrow, Government officials told The Associated
Press.
They are both certified scuba divers and have spent much of their time
at the Palau Pacific Resort, said Mary Ann Delemel of the Palau
Visitors Authority.
Photographers from several American newspapers are keeping a close
watch on the couple, but local residents are keeping their distance.
"People respect their need for privacy," Ms. Delemel said. "Palauans,
as other islanders, are curious, but harassing and going for autographs
is not part of it."
