...biggest underground banking area, the biggest automatic check-sorting center, the biggest air-conditioning unit. As a visible gesture in public relations, the building has done more than anything else to proclaim that Chase Manhattan is big, bold and forward-looking. And, says Chemical Bank's Chairman Helm, "Rockefeller has added strength to the financial community by locating it downtown." David Rockefeller has also enhanced the financial strength of the art community by pouring $500.000 of Chase Manhattan's money into paintings, sculptures and many other knickknacks to decorate the new building.

Only against Weatherly (seven wins, four losses) did Nefertiti run into heavy going. Twice, by crushing margins...
...heavy boom crashing down inches from the head of Designer Olin Stephens. But nobody counted Columbia out; many of her losses were by a margin of seconds. Even hapless Easterner, which won only one race, was not ready to quit, with Olympic Champion George O'Day at the helm and a full set of new sails in the offing...
