...Britain's sedate Bath, famed for its "waters," silk-bearded Haile Selassie, former Emperor of Ethiopia, has long been in exile working studiously on his memoirs. By last week the memoirs were nearly finished; arrangements had been made for their publication.

J., a 43-in. model of the new Ranger was tried out last autumn against a similar model of Endeavour I. Ranger proved much faster. In the Bath Iron Works, which had previously built only one Cup contender and in which last winter's most important job was five U.
