Job Cavoli set a new record yes

hours, 16 minutes,' 37 seconds. ’ .
That was considerably slower
than “Ther Expftrer,”"; which

Cavoli id- a 46-year-old restau
rant operator who likes baseball
travel .and headlines.
He came stiffly and wearily off
a plape at Cleveland Hopkins Air
port because he had achieved
very little exercise,-in his 26,400,
mile journey- And very little
sleep too, -because there always
seemed to be something to watch.
Cavoli was ';.4ess enthusiastic
about world travel at the finish
than at the start.
‘ This is a trip people shouldn’t
make,” he said. “It’s very tiring
in one trip, and you must have
a lot of backbone to do it.” ;1
The pint-sized Cavoli—5 feet 4
inches—praised the food en route
tout he said he was so keyed up
he couldn’t enjoy it. He esti
mated he had lost “several” of his
normal 136 pounds. As a tourist
his only treat was a brief ride in
a rickshaw at Hong Kong.
Cavoli had paid $1,856 for a
batch of tickets through New
York, Rome, Beirut, Tokyo, An
chorage and Seattle. Though he
was more than an hour late into
Rome’s Ciampino Airport, the
rest of the journey- close to
schedule. v._.. • r .. . ;>
