...handsome head of silver hair, Gore neither smokes nor drinks, is one of the Senate's more accomplished speakers and an authority on fiscal policy. His money views were forged under a courthouse maple in Carthage, Tenn., where, as a youth, he talked with then-Representative Cordell Hull about foreign trade, taxation, public debt. At its simplest, Gore's fiscal philosophy is that the national economy should be stimulated by increased public works, not by tax cutting...
...Black Hawk second line of Stan Mikita, Kenny Wharram, and Ab McDonald has led Chicago to its present NHL lead with nine goals in five games. Mikita now leads the league with six goals and four assists for a total of ten points. The first line, with Bobby Hull and Red Hay, should also score frequently. The defense, led by goalie Clenn Hall and captain Pierre Pilote, allowed fewer goals then any other team last season...
Though he was once regarded as a topflight Marblehead helmsman, Hunt now does most of his sailing on a designer's drawing board. He helped pioneer the popular International 110 and 210 classes, developed the ultra-highspeed (50 m.p.h.) "Moppie" powerboat hull, designed the 5.5-meter Minotaur that Massachusetts Yachtsman George O'Day sailed to victory in the 1960 Olympics. Hunt showed up at the world championship to try out his latest 5.5, Chaje II, built by Finnish Shipbuilder Jussi Nemes. The two planned to race her together. But Nemes had to rush home at the last minute...
...handiwork, designed for speed, not for family fun. The 5.5s range from 28 ft. to 35 ft. in length, must conform to a complicated formula that requires each "plus" (larger sail area) to be balanced by a "minus" (heavier weight). Built in the U.S., a 5.5-meter hull costs about $15,000; designer's fees, tank tests and sails boost the bill another $5,000 or more. Running before the wind, under an 800-sq.-ft. spinnaker, a 5.5-meter can skim along at 8 knots. But a sailor is well advised to take along a reliable...
Outside the U.S., hydrofoils have been carrying passengers on regularly scheduled runs for nearly ten years. By lifting the hull out of the water, the hydrofoils reduce water resistance enormously, permit speeds of up to 90 m.p.h. Japan has a fleet of them. Italy (where the first known hydrofoil was invented some 60 years ago by Enrico Forlanini) has ferry service across the Strait of Messina, also on the Gulf of Naples and Lago di Garda. Hydrofoils are fairly common in the Soviet Union. Others skim along the Riviera and between several islands of the Aegean. Three hydrofoils ferry tourists...
