Jack Regas, last year's winning driver, was not even there: he was still in the hospital with severe head injuries suffered last month when he spun into a wall of water on Idaho's Coeur d'Alene Lake while driving Miss Bardahl. Taking Regas' seat in defending champion Hawaii Kai was Brien Wygle, 32, a Boeing test pilot, who was the first man to log 1,000 hours...
...Hood's record was roughly equivalent to a rookie batting .425 in the majors. What made the feat even more outstanding was the fact that Robin was the first boat he had ever designed.

...planning a preview of its schedule this week, already counts 235 specials. Colbert, Preston and Bernstein are among the names that loom large, along with a promise of more prime-time news shows than before. Even ABC. generally content to ride the wave of the future buoyed up by an oversupply of westerns and private-eye programs, will weigh in with Crosby. Sinatra et al. in some 30 specials. Only apparent problem so far: with one scheduled practically every other night, a "special" may not seem special by season's end. If a new word is needed, the networks...
