...cares? "Sailing keeps you alive," says Chicago Psychiatrist Thaddeus Kostrubala, proud owner of a highly therapeutic 32-ft. cruising sloop. "It's a link with nature, with God, with the primeval. It touches your fantasy, your very wellspring. You have to read Conrad to really understand." For those who race, the motivation has a keener edge. "The sport is marvelously complex and terribly competitive," says Bill Parks. "It's a great challenge because there are so many variables: the wind, the weather, water conditions, other boats. You have to tune your boat, get the optimum performance...
...Conrad Susa's music for the several dances, songs, and general background is pleasant enough, though it certainly cannot be accused of subtlety (but, then, neither can Mendelssohn's marvelous score). I do wish he had not had recourse, for the shimmering fairies, to the vibraphone; this is too easy, and I cannot rid myself of the feeling that the instrument is inherently vulgar. Susa's score does not come up to the one Marc Blitzstein wrote for the 1958 production. (It is sadly ironic that Blitzstein and director Jack Landau, who contributed so much to the joyous success...

...sketchy, jerry-built anthology of sea tales by others who sailed at least some portion of the great clipper way followed by Skipper Chichester on his 226-day voyage. Since the book contains extracts from the best known yarns of such seafaring types as Sir Francis Drake, Joseph Conrad and Richard Henry Dana, stitched together with Old Sailor Chichester's own brief commentary on such dangers as icebergs, scurvy, sea monsters and gales, it is predictably absorbing. Still, it is obviously only a warmup for what Chichester undoubtedly plans as a rousing encore: an account of his own epic...
With the corporation's 80 hostelries dotting the earth from Nicosia to Vancouver, Barren Hilton, 39, Conrad's son and head of the Hilton operation in the U.S., figures it's time to start thinking of farther-out sites for another inn. In a speech before the American Astronautical Society in Dallas, Barren launched into a description of his plans for the Lunar Hilton, an underground 100-room hotel to be built just below the moon's crust. "In almost every respect it will be physically like an earth Hilton," he explained, calculating that construction...
