Stocky, barrel-chested. mop-haired Sculptor Barnard worked for 15 years on a project that has caused many of his esthetic friends to wince: a full-scale plaster model of an enormous War memorial arch which is yet to be translated into blue labradorite, embellished with a colored mosaic rainbow, rows of grave crosses in artificial perspective and an elaborate icing of gigantic white marble figures (TIME, Nov. 10, 1930; Nov. 27, 1933). Working like a beaver (his son estimates that he handles nearly 500 pounds of wet clay a day), he has been a recluse since the Armistice. Careful...

Skipper Sopwith sharply expressed his dissatisfaction when the New York Yacht Club's Race Committee refused to hear his protest after the fourth race. Both Rainbow and Endeavour finished the sixth race with protest flags flying so that...
...over whether the Committee should have heard the Sopwith protest and Designer Charles G. Nicholson of Endeavour went home disgusted, fair-minded yachtsmen had no trouble reaching a conclusion about the historic truths of the 1934 series: Endeavour, as a boat, was definitely faster than Rainbow. Mr. Sopwith, as a skipper who took the blame for "all my wrong tactics," was decidedly less able than Harold Vanderbilt.
