...would have the Russian trailer getting in just one shot at the 1,000-ft. carrier, presumably not enough to knock it out, before the 450-ft. trailer is attacked by the 164-ft. U.S. patrol craft and must defend itself. The Russians could, of course, assign a smaller boat to trail the U.S. trailer. Eventually a long line of vessels of diminishing size would string out over the Mediterranean. Each would wheel to fire its heavier weapons at the less lethal boat astern. The final casualty might well be a lone U.S. Navy bos'n, brandishing...
...apparently are created to give brief life to the naive, sick fantasies of pathetic old final clubbies and their frigid wives. On opening night, this segment of the audience went wild with hysteria over every tasteless innuendo. This does not cover up the fact that these people missed the boat when it came to sex, and Rhinestones in the Rough is nothing if not an entertainment for those who think masturbation is a way of life...

Marin did, however, admire Boudin, the 19th century painter of seascapes and beach resorts-"He knew his boats." Indeed, there is more than a passing resemblance of spirit...
...wave rises in the Maine sea and its sharp volume displaces air; Marin painted the wind as visibly as he drew the belly of a sail or the prow of a boat. Such abstraction as went on in his paintings was solely designed to clarify these clashings and peakings of force and substance, to turn it all into paint-"paint wave a'breaking on paint shore." He had instinctively hit upon the same vision of nature that produced the interlocking solidity of Cubist space, but he applied it to landscape in a fluid and dynamic way that bore very...
