...practically a prodigy. Yet last week, as the America's Cup 12-meter trials got under way in the wind-rippled waters off Newport, R.I., Mosbacher turned in a performance that would be difficult for anyone to beat. As skipper of Weatherly, a good, but never before great yacht, Mosbacher drove her to four brilliant victories in a row against the roughest competition U.S. yachting could offer.

Though disqualified for colliding with another yacht in the fourth of six races, Chance, who won an Olympic gold medal with his 5.5-meter yacht in 1952, sailed so well in the others (two firsts, a second, a third, a sixth) that he ended with 6.184 points and a margin of more than 400 points over the second-place finisher...
That Touch of Mink. No one cares what happens to a girl on a yacht, so does anyone care what happens to a girl (Doris Day) who is outfitted at Bergdorf Goodman, flown to Bermuda by jet, and escorted into a plush hotel by her millionaire (Cary Grant) would-be seducer? Well, Scriptwriters Stanley Shapiro and Nate Monaster do, since they stand to make a great deal more money out of the heroine's virginity than any virgin ever...
