White Water. The start off Newport came in a spanking northwester, and a too-daring majority of crews broke out their spinnakers. The billowing kites caught more wind than they could handle. The U.S. Naval Academy's 44-ft. yawl Fearless was knocked down and her decks rolled under white water until she finally worked free. The 45-ft. sloop Sirius lost her spinnaker over the side and caught the waterlogged tangle with her keel. Two days later the Finisterre had spinnaker trouble too.

In Poland fearless Cardinal Wyszynski goads the administration; in Hungary Cardinal Mindszenty hides in the American legation. The Hungarian writers who inspired and helped lead the revolution seldom dare to write even sly gibes (though they regularly and stubbornly send delegations to demand the release of Novelist Tibor Dery, intellectual leader of the revolt...
...inquisitor and cut him down to size. Last week it happened. In Manhattan, WABD's Night Beat filled its "hot seat" with Journalist Randolph Churchill, only son of Sir Winston. He listened politely to his introduction as a man who has been labeled "outspoken, ill-tempered and fearless." But when TV Torquemada John Wingate brought up the "unfortunate incident involving the arrest of your sister Sarah in California" (TIME, Jan. 27), Churchill more than lived up to his billing...
