John V. Lintner, Jr. professor of Business Administration, emphasized that the proposals constitute a "long needed change in our fundamental tax structure, not just a quickie tax cut."

...sailing master Fred Sawton observed that after World War II the expense of maintaining a yacht of J Boat proportions (150 feet long) has forced a switch to the smaller twelves. It was not 1958, however, that Commodore Henry Sears of the New Yacht Club arranged for the post-war challenge race between the American Columbia and British Secptre...
