...three Woodyard brothers of West Virginia marched into New York State. With the help of their good friend Spruille Braden, whose father made his money in Chile copper they raised some $60,000 new capital, acquired control of eight weeklies on Long Island's plump, profitable North Shore, linked them with their 15 county-seat weeklies in West Virginia. The Long Island and West Virginia groups are embodied in separate corporations, but both are managed by the Woodyards Since most of the 11,000 weeklies in the U.

Plump, rich Julia Smith, in whose backyard is the grave of an ancestor killed in the Revolution, was especially upset. She was president of the Ladies Aid Society and there the talk boiled up hottest. Gentle, white-haired Rector Livingston...
...Sakonnet Point, where rocky capes bracket a two-mile beach, off Brenton's Reef Lightship and the Narragansett shore where curious eddies twist in the shallow surf, there began last week the solemn business of picking a yacht to defend the America's Cup next September. After a week of trials, to be followed by another series in July, a third in August, the New York Yacht Club's selection committee had seen this year's three contenders under sail six times...
