Only two years ago. the Chicago Black Hawks were the pigeons of the National Hockey League. Despite such superstars as Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita, the Hawks somehow wound up dead last in their division. Then came an astounding turnabout. Last year the Hawks suddenly swooped off with top honors in their division. This year their new-found talons have been sharp enough to earn them 23 victories and five ties in their first 34 games. Much of the credit goes to Goalie Tony Esposito, who set a league record of 15 shutouts in his rookie season last year...
...doubt. Lieut. Commander Fuchida (Takahiro Tamura) is an Oriental Smilin' Jack, all jaw and strut. Ambassador Nomura (Shogo Shimada), present in Washington when the bombs fell, is the same shrunken cipher who appeared in all the newsreels. It is he who bears the verbal assault delivered by Cordell Hull, played by George Macready, one of the few performers capable of diplomatic outrage...

Come Aug. 18, he will find...
...Stephens innovation for 12-meters, the trim tab on the aft end of the keel helps to reduce drift to leeward and can be used as an auxiliary rudder in tight turns. Valiant's reverse transom rolls down more smoothly toward the waterline, reducing excess weight in hull and deck. As with Intrepid, Valiant's ten-man crew work their winches below deck, thereby lowering wind resistance as well as the boat's center of gravity. Valiant carries 1,750 sq. ft. of sail, less than usual for a 12-meter. Under the cup formula, the reduced...
