...Blame the Boat. The other boats were still far from disgraced. Columbia, gem of the 1958 America's Cup but badly outclassed in the 1962 trials, regained enough of her glitter under New Skipper Walter Podolak to beat Nefertiti and Constellation-the Californian's first victories in America's Cup competition. Constellation herself, with a record of two victories and five defeats, was still in the running. The only real disappointment was Ted Hood's Nefertiti. Glamour boat of the 1962 trials, the beamy Marblehead yacht got all the way to the finals before losing...
Pierre Salinger's entry into California's Democratic Senate primary was late and funny. He filed only two hours before the deadline, then had comic-opera troubles convincing legal author ities that he was a Californian; after all, he had not lived in the state for nine years, for the past four had been a voter in Harry Byrd's Virginia, and on primary day could not even vote for himself.

In one horrible instant that none of the 300,000 spectators will ever forget, a sheet of flaming gas spread across the track...

Says one of Nixon's top 1960 aides, a Californian: "I don't know any politician anywhere who worked in the 1960 campaign who isn't bitter about Lodge...
Kent Mackenzie, 34, a Californian, got his $10,000 by submitting three pictures with a total running time of one hour and 54 minutes. Two of Mackenzie's films are good, straightforward documentaries, one on a rodeo cowboy and the other on old people doomed to lose their homes to urban redevelopment in Los Angeles. But his really arresting accomplishment is a semidocumentary, full-length feature called The Exiles, a picture about American Indians as they live in Los Angeles today. Played by amateur actors like Delos Yellow Eagle and Frankie Red Elk, The Exiles slices a depressing...
