With Thomson hurt and goalie Wood just recovering from the flu, the Crimson will need plenty of team heroics to down B.C. for the fifth time in seven outings. Either way, a capacity crowd will see the best, and perhaps the roughest, game of the season at Watson tonight...
...m.p.h., a maximum speed of 86 m.p.h., a range of 200 miles and an endurance of three hours in the air. Special effects include a 360° visibility, a tinted canopy to protect against sun glare, and air-oil shock-absorbing landing skids that "smooth out" the roughest terrain. It is also economical-13? a mile by Hughes's estimate. With 53 dealers already signed up and expectations of many more, Hughes has stepped up production to one copter a day, confident the idea will soon catch...
...aboard was Gretel, the Australian challenger, but Sir Frank Packer finally relented. Her Aussie crew told Lamont that he was the first newsman ever allowed to sail on her, and the cruise Lamont took, in pelting rain and a 25-knot wind, had another distinction: it was the roughest weather Gretel had ever sailed in. Lamont had to pay for that passage too: he was ordered to help raise the main by winding in 400 ft. of wire on a portable plywood winch.

Television is the roughest surgeon. Trimming feature-length movies to fit into 90-minute afternoon slots (and spare plenty of time for commercials) leaves many films at about half-size−65 minutes. Cutters first remove all sex, violence (which TV saves for its own shows), mistreatment of children and animals, slighting mention of minority groups, profanity. Profanity uttered in the middle of a sentence is blotted over with tape, leaving an uncomfortable "bloop" in the sound track. Cuts in The Cruel Sea somehow made two ships one, left much of the dialogue senseless and many episodes pointless, reduced salty...
...meter trials got under way in the wind-rippled waters off Newport, R.I., Mosbacher turned in a performance that would be difficult for anyone to beat. As skipper of Weatherly, a good, but never before great yacht, Mosbacher drove her to four brilliant victories in a row against the roughest competition U.S. yachting could offer. Eventually, he lost to Columbia, the 1958 America's Cup champion, and then, by a close 43 sec., to Nefertiti, the highly touted newcomer designed by Marblehead Sailmaker Ted Hood. But before that he had humbled Columbia once, Easterner twice, and soundly trounced Nefertiti...
