...interest in water as a recreational facility, it is most appropriate. However, in view of this great interest in sailing craft, I wish to point out an omission in your story that would lead many people to considerable trouble, grief and expense. I refer to your mention of the trim-tab on Intrepid's keel. I am the holder of U.S. and Canadian patents which cover this particular feature of a keel flap and a separate rudder. For the purposes of the 12-meter boats involved in this year's series, no restrictions were placed upon...
...likely to mistake him. To make sure that the relief rolls get no bigger, the bill will, among other things, simply freeze at last January's level the percentage of children-mostly Negroes-receiving federal money under the Aid to Families with De pendent Children program. To trim the number of adult welfare recipients, states 1) would be allowed to remove from the rolls parents and high school dropouts over 16 who refuse to accept work "without good cause," and 2) would have new authority to force "deserting" fathers to support their offspring. Though Mills estimated that the provisions...

There came the groom, Artie, 24, carrying a guitar and wearing baggy trousers, a white, Nehru-collar tunic with red trim and cowboy boots. "My wedding suit. Nancy made it," he beamed. And there came the bride, Nancy, 15, her long blonde hair glistening, silver braces on her teeth (she'll take them off next year), and happily, joyously pregnant...

Keep It Low. Much has been made of Intrepid's second rudder, which is actually a "trim tab," similar to an aileron on an airplane and is designed to increase her speed to windward besides making her more maneuverable. A second innovation is her skeg, or "kicker," an extension of the keel that is supposed to cut down wave turbulence and make her faster yet. But all that is underwater. What shows above the wa ter line is pretty radical too: a broken-nosed bow, a titanium-tipped mast, a $22,000 sail inventory that includes...
