Magical it was, but confusing still. Said Art Institute Director Charles Cunningham: "Those who haven't experienced this type of art may not like it. But that's all right. Not too many years from now, it will be accepted by the man on the street as Van Gogh and others are today." In fact, the man on the street was already accepting it. Chicago Policeman Benjamin Troupe declared: "I like it fine-whatever it is." Added Cabby George Downs: "The longer you look, the more you see. That's what art should be." Even the Chicago...

Intrepid appeared to have the defender's job virtually locked up-and attention at Newport switched to the Australian challengers. If the America's Cup were awarded for beauty, the sleek green-and-gold Dame Pattie would win easily. If it were awarded for brass, Skipper Jock Sturrock would be well in the lead. He left no doubt that he expects to win come September...
