...Squalls Ahead. Luxury boats among the more than 75 cabin cruisers on display included Richardson's 46-ft., $51,000 motor yacht sleeping ten people. Rivaling it in the lavish touch was Bayhead Skiffs' 30-ft. Caribbean sports express. It has a hot-water shower, two electric refrigerators, a built-in rotisserie in its all-electric kitchen. Price: $28,000. But the biggest attention grabbers at the show were the new jet motorboats. Buehler Turbocraft exhibited a 16-ft. inboard (price: $3,450), powered by a jet engine. It draws in water through intakes amidships, forces...
...wife, having avoided both her husband's and her lover's bed, steps outside to survey the night. She is confronted, of course, by the stranger, and as the narrator points out, "one small glance and love is born." The two express this new found emotion rather strangely and athletically. The heroine, clad in filmy white, and her new love, more suitably dressed for the long hike ahead of them, set out over hill and dale, under fences, over bridges, through meadows, until finally, faint from fatigue, they float gently downstream in a skiff.

Entitled Seated Man with Owl, it was a proud new acquisition for one of the nation's finest little museums, fell to Smith's lot because Baskin happens to teach there...
...warm and alive, lighter than stone and cheaper than bronze." Baskin gives his figures all the unadorned monumentality he can, tries to capture the most elemental aspects of man's life. Like the sculptured gods of Egypt and Sumeria, his figures are still, withdrawn, awesome. Yet they also express a sharply contrasting sense of the ordinary and everyday. He casts fat, simple, dull-seeming people in the roles of gods and heroes. Except for his owl, and the timelessness it symbolizes, the Seated Man might be riding a subway...
...maintenance costs drastically-although, quips one sardonic commuter, "It's not quite come to the point where your wife kisses you goodbye every morning thinking it's the last time." He has also needled commuters with such niggling little gestures as the removal of the nightly express "theater" train to the suburbs-as has the New York Central. "Riding the New Haven," says a Wall Street commuter, "is the most vicious form of travel known to man." Cheaper Than Cars. One key to the railroads' financial plight is the commuter fare. Despite hefty hikes in the last...
