...Liked That Catamaran." Traveling with Dutch Ethnologist Rene Wassing, 34, Rockefeller journeyed along the southern coast. In village after village, the two men traded shells and axes, got back more than 50 pieces of native art. In some villages they were guests at missions of the Crozier Fathers, to whom Michael showed off his catamaran, two native canoes lashed together by planks and powered by an 18-h.p. outboard motor. Mission priests warned that the coastal tides swelled 20 feet high, surged 75 miles upriver and out again with a force that overpowered even the best native rowers...
...Derby, with only mild urging from Sellers ("I just shook the stick at him"), Carry Back made up 20 lengths to come home three-quarters of a length in front of Crozier. In the Preakness, (see cuts), Carry Back was bumped by a couple of horses as he broke from the gate, fell back to last place, 14 lengths behind Globemaster. "I was plenty worried," says Jockey Sellers. "He scared the willies out of me because the track has sharp turns, and it's hard to make up lost ground. But I think he disliked all that dirt flying...
...post time, the Derby still was anybody's race. The coffee-colored track at Churchill Downs was soggy from heavy rains the day before, and the big, 15-horse field included Crozier, a courageous black colt that won the Derby Trial in record time, and California's Four and Twenty, a descendant...
Finally, Sellers took matters into his own hands. "I shook the stick at him," he said, "and he started to run." Veering to the outside, Carry Back flashed past the exhausted Globemaster and pulled even with Crozier. Again Sellers waved his whip; again Carry Back responded. At the finish, the brown colt was in front by almost a length. Carry Back had earned another $120,500, and crewcut Jockey Sellers-at 23, the nation's leading jockey (TIME, March 24)-had won his first Kentucky Derby. "All I had to do," said Sellers modestly, "was ask that horse...
...flamboyant," late medieval style, is illustrated in the engravings of a Crozier and Madonna and Child, by the master from Colmar, Schongauer. All the capacity of engraving for detail and subtlety is put to use. In these works the artist characteristically stresses linear qualities and tactile values, concentrating on bringing out textures while limiting the plastically felt surfaces. Along with the engravings of Schongauer are woodcuts, some of which are from the Wolgemut school. The art of letter printing which was developed in Germany during the middle of the 15th century had been used for some time in the making...
