...second-largest stabile found an even more appropriate site. Last week Calder's 40-ft.-high The Big Sail (see opposite page) was dedicated at Boston's Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Calder is a graduate engineer of Stevens Institute of Technology, class of 1919, and his adventures in cantilevers and tensions prove it. His new stabile has only one curved surface out of many; yet it presents a fluid silhouette of restless arabesques...
...Sail was forged in France in 35 pieces. Its 27-ton bulk took a ton and a half of nuts and bolts to hold it together and a four-ton concrete foundation. At present, it is the largest Calder in the Western Hemisphere. But not for long. The silver-haired tinker is already at work on a 65-ft.-high by 94-ft-wide stabile in unpainted stainless steel, to be set on an island in the St. Lawrence in time for the 1967 Montreal World's Fair.

When you watch Chris Paradee sail over a crossbar at 6 ft., 10 in., or Jim Baker pound out two miles in 9:05.5, it all looks so easy. But the team's victories have been especially difficult this year. As the indoor season opened it found itself without some of its best runners, and with lots of its best runners, and with lots of promise but no security in the weight events...
