...last week, Dame Pattie might have been competition for Bus Mosbacher and the U.S. defender, Intrepid. As it was, the winds ranged from seven to 22 knots, and Pattie lost three straight races by wide margins. On not one single point of sailing did the Australian 12-meter yacht prove superior...
...that it has. At Newport last week, there were no fewer than three potential challengers waiting at the dock: another Aussie syndicate, a British group, and a French outfit led by Baron Marcel Bich, a millionaire ballpoint-pen manufacturer. Bich already owns one 12-meter yacht, has shares in two others, including Intrepid's trial horse, Constellation, has a fourth on the drawing boards, and is reportedly dickering to buy Intrepid herself.

His son, Robert, an internationally famed yachtsman, also had a five-year consulting contract, at $15,000 annually.

As Hamilton confirmed all with a "We shall always be friends" statement, Lynda Bird let it be known that she has not been wholly unhappy recently in the company of Marine Captain and White House Aide Charles Robb, 28, her favorite bridge partner and her host at a beach bash in Delaware over...
Only when Harold Sydney Geneen, 57, goes fishing off Cape Cod aboard his $100,000 yacht, Genie IV, does he temporarily travel without his attache cases. "Otherwise, my office is where I am," explains Geneen. Inasmuch as he is board chairman and president of the globe-girdling International Telephone & Telegraph Corp., that could be almost anywhere. A man who walks fast, talks fast and thinks fast, the sturdy (5 ft. 10 in., 180 lbs.) Geneen churns with the ambition of a man half his age. In the space of eight years, he has rejuggled ITT from top to bottom, transforming...
