...play lead guitar for--he's one of the finest rhythm guitarists playing. Laugh not--playing good rhythm is tough, because you're responsible for pushing the lead guitarist to whatever heights he's trying to achieve, as well as keeping the music on an even keel by keeping the time and most of the beat, and most importantly, filling out the sound as though there was a horn section. Ask Keith Richards, he's the best around. But his energy and his unbounded onstage joy carry Poco, and seep into Timothy's bass playing. George's drumming, and Paul...
...schooner fishermen, designed Kathi Anne II himself, although he had no training in naval architecture and never went beyond ninth grade. From groves on his own farm he cut white pine for her planking, black spruce for her spars, oak for her ribs. He poured the lead for her keel in two old iron bathtubs. One of his brothers made her trapezoidal, gaff-headed sails (no newfangled spinnakers for Kathi A nne). A brother-in-law made her goosenecks, blocks and deadeyes (no modernistic turnbuckles). Spoon-bowed Kathi Anne plowed a fast furrow in the races at Lunenburg Harbor...
...press of a button displays with lighted numerals the hour, minute and second in any of the world's 24 time zones. A transistorized depth-finder that tells the Sunday sailor in glowing red numbers exactly how many feet, or fathoms, of water lie under his keel. These futuristic devices, already on the market, are only samples of the dazzling consumer spin-offs from a totally new scientific field called "optoelectronics"-the marriage of modern optics with space-age electronics...
...ball is over, and the sense of excitement and communion begins to dim, she climbs into her car, station wagon, Land Rover, bus, taxi-and goes home. And it hits her. She arrives home to pay the sitter or what-have-you, to take over the children, to keel the pot like greasy Joan, to put the kettle on like Polly, to take up the reins of her existence. Only -something is wrong...
SINCE early in 1970, U.S. intelligence experts have been particularly interested in satellite photos of a ship with an exceptionally long keel being constructed at the big Soviet naval shipyard in the Black Sea port of Nikolayev. In recent months, as the hull began to take shape, the photos disclosed a number of significant details-large shafts for elevators, huge fuel tanks, a flattop deck. Last week some Defense Department experts were finally willing to make a striking prediction: the Soviet navy, which for years scorned U.S. attack carriers as "floating coffins" and "sitting ducks," is now building...
