...skippers, is unsurpassed at beating the competition to the starting line by precious seconds, in last week's trial series trailed only once at the opening gun. But many experts still like Columbia, and 51-year-old Skipper Cunningham, with an eye toward the bad weather that often roils New England waters in late September, feels that "heavy weather is Columbia's long suit." He admits his yacht is weakest with the wind astern but adds, "she's a bear cat to windward." And the saying goes that if a boat can go to windward better than...
...Williamsport the Monterrey kids had to make some adjustments. They brought their own hot peppers with them, but had to give up the usual diet of beans, goat meat and tortillas for American fare. They were amazed at the plentiful supply of milk, often drank more at one sitting than their families back home could afford in a whole week. Little League doctors found them in fine health.

That alone gobbles up 40? of every revenue dollar. West Coast golf club maintenance workers got 80? an hour in 1950; today they get $1.60. Virtually every club loses on its dining room. The club kitchen must always stand ready to serve food to a hundred...
