...AMERICAN REVIEW: NO. 1, edited by Theodore Solotaroff. In the precarious business of launching a new literary periodical, Editor Solotaroff aims midway between big names and big, unheralded promise.

Mosbacher had to veer off sharply; in the process, Intrepid caught a blast of air from a Coast Guard rescue helicopter that wrapped her mainsail around the backstay, cost her more than 30 sec. of racing time. She still beat Dame Pattie to the first mark...
