Last week, sporting a newly tailored mainsail and a genoa borrowed from Kurrewa, Sovereign looked tough indeed. Bavier was worried enough to spend a day practicing starts against Old Master Bus Mosbacher, who skippered Weatherly to a cup victory in 1962; taking the wheel of American Eagle for the first time, Mosbacher beat Bavier to the line four times in a row. Perched on the deck of a nearby cabin cruiser, Scott watched the scrimmage with interest. Back on the dock somebody asked him: "Don't you ever take a day off?" Answered Scott: "I'll think about...
...week. Bulletins on French radio had the urgency of war communiques: "The traffic jam is now approaching Lyon . . . It is now impossible to pass through Avignon . . . Accidents have blocked all roads into Aix." In Italy, three-quarters of the population of Milan fled the city. Rome, Florence, Naples and Genoa were dead, and Capri, Elba, Rimini and Viareggio as jammed as Coney Island on the 4th of July. Thousands of vacationers had to stand twelve hours in railroad coaches to reach the sea. In Spain, the government had moved from Madrid to San Sebastian, and was nearly trampled under...
...worth of the nation's sixth largest export, have a tough row to hoe. More and more European buyers are complaining about the condition of U.S. cotton. "America sends us the worst-made-up bales," says Harry Tonge, chairman of Britain's Raw Cotton Committee. Grumbles one Genoa importer: "The condition of U.S. cotton cries out for revenge."

And for a jib, she will carry a huge new cross-cut genoa that is supposed to hold its shape better than old jibs. Eagle's 36-man syndicate is headed by Pierre du Pont and New York Yacht Club Commodore H. Irving Pratt and includes the recently divorced Mrs. Briggs Cunningham who donated the same silver dollar to place under Eagle's mast that rode under Columbia's when Cunningham captained...
Only by Fork. The 140-year-old family-owned Agnesi company is a heterogeneous blend of old and new. The new plant, so automated that only three men handle all milling operations, sits among old buildings in Imperia, 80 miles southwest of Genoa. Surrounded by hills and served by a wheezing one-track railroad and the winding two-lane Via Aurelia, a relic of the Roman Empire, Agnesi's Imperia businessmen air-freight their goods to Scandinavia more easily than they can ship it to Rome. From their isolated offices, they ring up the highest long-distance telephone bills...
