...scheme is well-nigh perfect. So obvious are its charms that when a New Orleans bartender received a probing letter, he neither responded nor complained. He immediately went into the business himself. So did a Boston law student. The original U.S. outfit was apparently Legal Research Inc. in Newport Beach, Calif.; now it has at least 17 competitors, operating everywhere from London to Philadelphia.

Britain, France and Greece have already signaled battle, and now Australia's Sir Frank Packer, 60, has run up his flag, recommending that there be an elimination series of races among all challengers in Cup waters off Newport, R.I.

The ease of Intrepid'?, victory did not discourage other challengers. No sooner were the races over than two challenges for 1970 were received-from Britain's Royal Dorset Yacht Club and France's Yacht Club d'Hyeres...
