Like Rainbow, which Skipper Vanderbilt sold last winter, Endeavour I has changed hands since 1934. Her new owner. H. A. Andreae, loaned her to her old owner for this year's trial series with the understanding that if she proves faster than Endeavour II, Skipper Sopwith can buy her back. Endeavour II, blue like her predecessor, is 87 ft., 164 tons-4 ft. longer on the water line and 20 tons heavier than Endeavour I. Last summer she won nine races out of 18 starts, lost her mast twice, proved better in calm than stormy weather...
...Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, N. J., a 43-in. model of the new Ranger was tried out last autumn against a similar model of Endeavour I. Ranger proved much faster. In the Bath Iron Works, which had previously built only one Cup contender and in which last winter's most important job was five U. S. destroyers (TIME, Nov. 23), Ranger, first America's Cup yacht in 25 years to have an all-steel hull, was whacked together in 140 days.

After a 15-month buildup, with an exciting interlude last winter while a new hero was substituted, the biggest news story of 1937 (so far) last week finally reached its climax on Coronation Day in Westminster Abbey.

Death and General Putnam-and 101 Other Poems (1935), his literary high, was boosted by many readers for a Pulitzer Prize. He is an expert on New York history, rich enough to winter in Florida, summer in Vermont...
...industrial issues the current downswing appeared even clearer than in the averages. Leader of the booming winter market, U. S. Steel has sold off from a high of $126 per share to a low last week of $93. Chrysler was down from a 1937 high of $135 to $106; Radio from $12.75 to about $8.75; U. S. Rubber from $72 to $52, Nash-Kelvinator from nearly $25 to $18; U. S. Gypsum from $137 to $107; General Electric from $64 to $50. Even such a symbol of stability as American Telephone & Telegraph was off 24 points from its 1937 high...
