...problems-his engines cut out three times when waves tossed the boat clear out of water. CoDriver Walt Walters was knocked un conscious when a wave broke across the boat-but Wynne grimly kept going. So, incredibly, did Jerry Langer in his little outboard. Finally, 4 hrs. 45 min. after the start, Thunderbird churned back into Biscayne Bay, and Winner Wynne gratefully stepped ashore, muttering: "Now that was a wingding." Runner-up Langer, who finished 21 hours behind Wynne, could not have agreed more. "Where are the Band-Aids?" was the first question he asked on arrival in Miami...

The best two-milers include an Arizona sci ence teacher and a Massachusetts busi nessman. And the 4-min. 15-sec. mile is no exaggeration: that is what...
...longer, and nobody is allowed to talk except Coach Rupp. "We have a requirement," he explains, "that you only speak if you can improve on the silence." Every pass, every shot, every move is charted by the Baron and his assistants-so meticulously that after one recent 59-min. 47-sec. practice, he was able to announce that his team had handled the ball 3,308 times, had made precisely five "mistakes...
