...destroyers during mealtimes to save precious hours. He has cut his 10,000-mile outdoor classroom into four segments, runs off exercises in each one-as many as a dozen in a day and night. With the completion of each exercise, he folds his 160-lb., 6-ft. frame over the chart tables, carefully puts on his reading glasses for a close, almost wordless examination of the results. And the exercises continue unceasingly, each one posing new problems, each one bringing some disappointment, yet each one bringing Thach and Alfa a step or so closer to vital answers. Such...
...works with his three sons-Dave, 51, Stan, 45, and Bill, 39-one of whom is at the helm while the others help Rosy take pictures. He keeps about ten cameras in a special frame on top of the engine hatch, garners up to 500 negatives on a good day. Every picture taken by him or his sons bears the same credit line: Morris Rosenfeld. Rosy's pictures bring as much as $5,000 each. They often settle fouling claims for bedeviled racing officials, and solve design problems for stumped yacht architects...

The 400 were culled from 10,000 entries submitted to eight regional centers across...
Contrasts. Though both are sons of old racing drivers, there the similarity ends. Mike Hawthorn drives in devil-may-care style, his husky frame hunched over in the cramped cockpit, a grim scowl on his face. Moody Mike enjoys his cigarettes and whisky, cuts loose occasionally on the trumpet (which he plays with some skill), flies his own plane. He drives solely to win, cares little about how he accomplishes it ("I haven't bloody well got a driving style"). Hawthorn started racing motor bikes as a teen-ager in Farnham, Surrey, where his father ran a garage. Driving...
