...boarded up on a $6,000,000 plot at Fifth Avenue and 61st Street. No matter. She is Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge, niece of John D., childless widow of Munitions Heir Marcellus Hartley Dodge, and in doughtier days she played hostess to the world's largest one-day dog show (4,456 entries in 1939) at her 500-acre estate in Madison, N.J.

When members of a Japanese Antarctic expedition radioed home that an advance party was in trouble and might have to abandon their dogs, Mrs. Murayama, who is an ardent dog lover, ordered the paper to contact the expedition.

He kept at it during a week's recuperation at Broad Run Farm, his redwood-and-field-stone ranch house in suburban Sterling...
American Eagle's rivals hope it will be a different story in the next series of trials in July. A dour Connecticut Yankee who started racing "dog boats" off Martha's Vineyard when he was twelve, Bill Cox is an old hand at judging tides and winds in protected waters, knows Long Island Sound as well as his own bathtub. He will lose that advantage when the twelves move to wide-open Rhode Island Sound. There, 6-ft. swells are common, and the boats sometimes race in 40-knot winds. But if he was worried...
