...race ended elsewhere. Driving rain drenched the crews, and visibility was down to zero as fierce squalls kicked up 5-ft. swells. Florida's John Heinrich was only 30 miles out of Freeport when waves ripped the deck off his 26-ft. Alim outboard. Between Chub Cay and Nassau, the 24-ft. Nova inboard of Miamian Allan Brown ran out of gas, then wallowed helplessly in the wash for more than four hours while rescue planes searched...
...Mona Lou III, a 32-ft. Maritime inboard powered by two 475-h.p. Mercury engines, Odell Lewis was worried not so much about winning as merely staying afloat. A draining, plug had popped out of Mona Lou's hull; when Lewis pulled into Nassau to refuel, he had to leap overboard and plug the hole with rags to keep the boat from sinking.

But what made Belmont really special was that society's horsemen built it to their own specifications. So overwhelming was the track's mood of genteel opulence that it even awed...
...Sevareid zoom in on "the new politics," to show how public relations, advertising and other image makers can "create" a politician-in this case, Sol Wachtler, now a New York State Supreme Court judge. Last November, he became a manufactured but very real threat to New York's Nassau County Executive incumbent, Eugene Nickerson...
