...real lion of Newport society this summer, the most talked-about and sought-after visitor in town, the guest without whose presence no party can truly be called a success, is a normally gregarious fellow named Emil Mosbacher Jr. Unfortunately, Mr. Mosbacher regrets. His appointment book is full. He is dating a lady named Intrepid, and she is a most demanding mistress...
First Race, First Win. Bus (a contraction of "Buster," the nickname given him by a hospital nurse at birth) has been sailing-in dead earnest-ever since his daddy dropped him into a dinghy at five. Starting from scratch as a messenger boy in a Wall Street brokerage house, Emil Sr. had already climbed so far as an investor that he could buy "Brook Hills," a 43-acre estate in White Plains, N.Y. George Gershwin was a frequent visitor, wrote most of Porgy and Bess in a guest cottage tucked away on a corner of the grounds. The Mosbachers wintered...
...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...
...obviously can happen to the best of yachtsmen, because it did last week to no less than Emil ("Bus") Mosbacher, 45, the brilliant skipper who piloted Weatherly to victory in the 1962 America's Cup races against Australia, and is favored to do the same with Intrepid this year. There was Intrepid, skipping merrily across Long Island Sound, en route to an easy victory over American Eagle in last week's preliminary cup trials. Then Bus steered the wrong way around a buoy, had to come about -and thereby converted a 56-sec. lead into...
...have to say she's kind of radical," confided Emil ("Bus") Mosbacher, as he watched the slim, white hull slide down the ways of City Island, N.Y. Along with 500 well-wishers, Mosbacher was on hand last week for the launching of Intrepid, the 12-meter yacht he will skipper against Australia in the America's Cup this fall. It took only half an eye to see that she was a far cry from the old Weatherly Bus sailed to victory against the Aussies' Gretel in 1962-or for that matter, from any other 12-meter ever...
