...Fourcard, a black Carter delegate, told a reporter: "I'm for Carter, all right. But I've decided I'm against that rule. I don't want someone hanging over my head telling me what to do." A Carter whip overheard her remark. Suddenly, Chip Carter, the President's son, appeared at her seat and kindly offered to autograph her green Carter-Mondale poster.

...son of an architect, Goizueta started out as a chemist in Coca-Cola's Havana bottling plant; Fidel Castro's 1959 takeover drove him to a job with Coke in the Bahamas. In 1964 he went to the U.S. and began making his way up the company's managerial ranks.

Rounding out the field is New Yorker Russell Long, 24, son of Sumner , ("Huey") Long, a well-known shipping broker and ocean racer. The blond, blue-eyed Russell was crewing by age seven, but it was not until last year that he skippered a twelve, Turner's old Independence. Convinced that he could be competitive himself if only his boat were a little faster, Long raised $500,000 and stripped Independence for parts. The result: the deep blue Clipper and a helmsman brash enough to be Turner's son. "Ted peaked out in 1977," says Long...
