...Britain's turn again, and the Royal Thames Yacht Club means to make a sterner test of it. Off Newport, R.I., this summer, two new British twelves will fight it out for the right to challenge the U.S. in the best-of-seven series. They are Sovereign, owned by London Financier Anthony Boy den, 36, and Kurrewa V (pronounced Coo-roo-aa),* jointly financed by British and Australian money and skippered by British Yachtsman Owen Parker...
...Sceptre. But Boyd thinks he has learned about blue-water sailing since then. Gone are Sceptre's tubby lines; the new boats have a swift, made-in-U.S. look with sharp, clean bows, narrow hulls and wide sterns. They could be twins except for the keels: Sovereign's is V-shaped and knife sharp, while Kurrewa's is heavier and rounded...
...have appeared in Mississippi papers since SNCC announced 'Mississippi Freedom Summer' last December.

They prescribed it for rheumatic pains, and patients volunteered the information that it also cured headaches. It has become the universal, sovereign remedy for dropping a fever, and for pain of practically any kind from hangover to cancer. In the rheumatic disorders, aspirin has a double action: it not only eases pain but, by lowering the temperature of inflamed joints and muscles, actually helps to check the disease process itself. It has a similar double action in gout. Aspirin's supremacy as an antirheumatic was threatened...
...companies, once worth hundreds of millions. The U.S. State Department considered the case momentous because it involved a basic principle of U.S. law: "the act of state doctrine" that originated in England nearly 300 years ago. The doctrine was spelled out by the Supreme Court back in 1897: "Every sovereign State is bound to respect the independence of every other sovereign State, and the courts of one country will not sit in judgment on the acts of the government of another done within its own territory." Since then, the Supreme Court has consistently held that if a person protected...
