...much of Europe. Among the notable exceptions to this lack of inventive spirit is a 138-year-old firm named Pilkington Brothers Ltd., Britain's largest glassmaker. Pilkington's new "float glass" process has not only brought dramatic change to an ancient industry but restored some glitter to Britain's industrial reputation. Last week Pilkington completed a licensing agreement that allows Ford Motor to produce float glass for its autos, a move that may lead to widespread use of the new product in the huge U.S. auto market...
...present state, Golden Boy is a tough, slick and inventive outline for what might become the most exciting musical drama since Gypsy. When it flexes its muscles in music and dance, it has the aura of excitement of a prize fight.

Columbia, gem of the 1958 America's Cup but badly outclassed in the 1962 trials, regained enough of her glitter under New Skipper Walter Podolak to beat Nefertiti and Constellation-the Californian's first victories in America's Cup competition. Constellation herself, with a record of two victories and five defeats, was still in the running. The only real disappointment was Ted Hood's Nefertiti. Glamour boat of the 1962 trials, the beamy Marblehead yacht got all the way to the finals before losing...
