What lies ahead for Colas? "Round the world singlehanded has already been done, so there is not much point in doing it again," he says. "But there are some records for quick passages which have held good since the days of the square-riggers. It would tickle me pink to beat one of those." Meanwhile, he can collect some plump publishing and endorsement fees (the race's official first prize is simply a 12-in. silver plate) and continue paying off the borrowed money he has sunk into Pen Duick IV. Says Fiancée Teura: "Everything has gone...
...noon, many people gathered at the Grand Hotel, a pink elephant of a building with a view over the port (impressively clean) and the Royal Palace (depressingly severe). The reason was simple.

Those on the spirit side tell me to pass on to you a message not to worry about your lower back." To another woman: "Your husband has applied...
Light drifts slowly up through the paint and glows silently on the surface. Paintings that seem monochrome - Resnick's work always has one dominant color, whether cobalt blue, pink or a peculiarly sensuous acid green - disclose, on study, fascinating inflections and qualifications.
