...aluminum mast unstepped, her Honduras mahogany hull swathed in protective padding, Australia's sleek, 12-meter challenger for the America's Cup was ready last week for her voyage to the U.S.-as deck cargo aboard the freighter City of Sydney. For two months, Gretel (pronounced Great-ul) had been testing herself against her American trial horse, Vim, and stories about her speed were flying like loose sheets in a gale. Though the Aussies carefully tut-tutted the report, one story had it that Gretel had beaten Vim by 16 minutes over a 16-mile course-a fantastic...
...Keel v. Hull. Last week, at Marblehead, Mass., a fourth U.S. candidate slid down the ways on the midnight tide. In what was probably the biggest crowd ever to attend a shore-bound yachting function, 1,200 sailors packed into M.I.T.'s Kresge Auditorium to hear about Nefertiti, a radical 12-meter yacht designed by self-taught Naval Architect Frederick ("Ted") Hood, a world-renowned Marblehead sailmaker.

A former Winnipeg salesman on the Manitoba grain exchange, Hull received "a very real personal call from God to move to Jerusalem" while attending services one night at Winnipeg's Zion Apostolic Church. He settled down in Palestine in 1935, following his ordination to the ministry. A strong believer in Israeli independence, Hull has long enjoyed the favor of Israel's government, and after Eichmann's conviction Hull offered his services as a spiritual counselor. Eichmann, who had been brought up in Austria...
...bring Eichmann to the point where "God can reach his heart," Hull has tried to make Eichmann see that God's judgment of his soul is more important than the Israeli court's judgment of his body. At their first conference last month, Hull asked Eichmann to turn in his Bible to a text in Ecclesiastes. Eichmann hesitated. "Isn't that in the Old Testament?" he asked. When Hull said it was, Eichmann answered: "I won't read it. I don't believe in Jewish stories and fables." Patiently, Hull explained: "I've laid...
