...craggy coast of Brittany juts into the Atlantic like the head of a hungry snapping turtle. Ragged with reefs and studded with wind-worn, prehistoric monuments, it is one of France's poorest but most picturesque regions. Even the names are striking: Brest and Quimper, Kernascléden and Morbihan-echoes of the Celtic invasion from Wales that settled the giant peninsula about 500 A.D. Life is hard and poor, and even the tourist trade is seasonal at best, for tourists come only when the wet, ragged winds from the Channel let up in the summer, and a pale...
With automobiles and yachts, ski weekends and Caribbean vacations, Americans spend more of their income (10%) on transportation than any other people.

...takes only a slight draft to start a natural vortex. The vortex then increases the wind speed, which, in turn, enlarges the whirl. In the laboratory the vortex increases the velocity of the air in propotion to the screen's radius. With a screen speed of four rotations per second, Ying has produced winds up to seven miles per hour near the whirl. While the rotating screen sucks air outwards, the rising heat of the fire pulls air toward the flame; at speeds faster than four revolutions per second, the screen's pull is greater than that of the fire...

The Crimson started badly, however, and only began to pass boats when Butler cut across a strong mid-bay current to take advantage of milder water on the other side. On the last downwind leg, expert spinnaker work by Ken Burnes and smooth coordination by assistant helms-man Bill Cabeen helped the Harvard yawl catch both U.S.C. and Wayne State. The Crimson won by four and one-half minutes...
