...Goodman (football) and Researcher Geraldine Kirshenbaum (sky diving) make no claim to expertise in sailing-but they were just as concerned as Painter Lundgren, because they have readers who raise the devil when they make a mistake. To help bring the language through, they turned to the glossary and diagram that appear with the cover story, as well as to their skill at translating the expertise...
Getting the information for Cartographer Robert M. Chapin's diagram of Intrepid posed a particularly sensitive problem. While Bus Mosbacher, his crew and his family were generously cordial and cooperative throughout the intensive reporting and research for the cover story, a certain gentlemanly reserve surfaced when we requested details tor a cross-section drawing of the boat that would make features of its design graphically clear to readers from Newport to Sydney to the Isle of Wight. When Researcher Mimi Conway called at Mosbacher's office in New York to discuss the dia gram, he smilingly said...
...layers of the skin involved in the sun-screening process are visible under a microscope. Below the skin's outermost horny layer, or stratum corneum (see diagram), lies a germinative layer where, on exposure to sunlight, the pigment-producing cells are stimulated to produce more melanin-and a suntan. The black races (Negro, Bushman-Hottentot and Australoid), with a more abundant supply of melanin, are in effect, perpetually tanned. Members of the white race are transparent-skinned in winter, when they must make the most of the limited ultraviolet avail able to synthesize vitamin D, but they take...
...inside is words, with a sprinkling of pen-and-ink caricatures with oversized heads by David Levin. Last week, to the wondering eyes of its white, middle-class readers, Review devoted the lower third of a cover dealing with books on Negro rebellion to a detailed, do-it-yourself diagram of a Molotov cocktail. Some were amused, some were startled, none were likely to make much use of the blueprint. What was meant to give everybody a bang turned out to be just a little...
This time at Newport, the crucial moment (see diagram) came 2 min. before the starting cannon, when Cunningham, after crossing the line early, swung Columbia around to get back onside. Instantly, Mosbacher spun Intrepid's wheel; his foredeck crew ran up a jib to windward-and in a flash Intrepid cut inside Columbia to gain the right of way. When Mosbacher jibed and crossed the starting line, Columbia was hopelessly backwinded and 40 sec. behind...
