...appreciative of the good life. They need no hallucinogens to tell them when parties are fun, food good, and life pleasant and comfortable. In pursuit of their affairs they are realistic and responsible. A Hobbit pad is clean, comfortable, beloved and cozy, a good place for a comforting cup of tea. We stay-ins must judge from TIME'S picture that hippies live just a step above animals...
...such parlous shape is that talent too often goes unrewarded. Puerto Rico's Charles Pasarell, for example, has won two straight U.S. Indoor championships and was the only American even to reach the men's quarterfinals at Wimbledon-yet he was passed over for the 1967 Davis Cup team. Then there is Billie Jean Moffitt King...
Emil ("Bus") Mosbacher Jr., 45, is not the sort of fellow anybody would invite into a friendly poker game. Behind that genial grin are the instincts of a tiger shark. In last week's America's Cup observation trials off Newport, R.I., Bus once more demonstrated why he is rated the slickest blue-water sailor in the world. At the helm of Intrepid, he ran off a string of five straight victories, including a 3-min. 46-sec. trouncing of Pat Dougan's refurbished Columbia - the boat that was expected to give Intrepid its stiffest battle...
...opponent aboard Columbia was Briggs Cunningham, 60, who skippered her to a cup victory over Britain's out classed Sceptre in 1958 - after barely beating Mosbacher's older, slower Vim in the final U.S. trials. That was the year that Mosbacher invented the "tail chasing" start. While the two boats were jockeying for position, Bus kept Vim's bow practically on top of Columbia's transom. Columbia could neither jibe nor tack without fouling Vim. Not until Mosbacher broke off for the starting line could Cunningham swing into action. By then, Vim was precious seconds...
Harvard's oarsmen have won the Eastern Sprint Championships, the Stein Cup (from Brown and Rutgers), the Adams Cup (from Pennsylvania and Navy) and the Compton Cup (from Princeton and M.I.T.). In New London, Conn., last month, they swept to their fifth straight victory over Yale, by the huge margin of seven boat lengths. And on New York's Hunter Island Lagoon two weeks ago, they outstroked Philadelphia's Vesper Boat Club, the 1964 Olympic champions, to 1) earn the right to represent the U.S. at next month's Pan American Games at Winnipeg, Canada...
