...fateful day-gulp!-will never come. Shortly after Capp, 68, penned this panel last month at his Boston studio, he signaled his retirement. The frog-voiced, razor-witted Daumier of Dogpatch for purt' near 44 years casually told an assistant: "You can stop cutting the paper. I'm not going to draw any more." Last week Capp disclosed that he will have no successor. Said he: "I've tried one or two people, and it was clear that there would be an awful change."

Trailing at the final buoy, Turner drove his crew through 19 tacks on the last 2½mile leg. Each of the grueling...
...string of victories dating back to a May 1973 loss to Northeastern in the Eastern sprints, the record of five straight Adams Cup triumphs, the tradition of the Shealy, Cashin et al "rude and smooth" crews and of last year's surprise championship boat--all were shattered by the razor-thin loss...
