Everything is streamlined, even objects that are screwed down and cannot move, so that America's breathless rush toward Utopia is clearly signified by things like a 1933 Raymond Loewy metal teardrop desk-mounted pencil sharpener. In the twelve years between the Wall Street Crash and Pearl Harbor, the American imagination seems to have oscillated between two images, the streamline and the breadline -- the former promising relief from the latter.

Featuring a scaled-down version of Lexcen's revolutionary winged keel, the 14-ft.-long fiber-glass Mini 12 sells...
