It is long overdue. A planing microtrawler; a glass-galleried, beachable birdwatching boat; a fully enclosed ocean-cruising rowboat; cruising sailboats that take the ground at low tide; power, sail, and rowing boats from 6 to 95 feet--these are boats as only Bolger's unfettered imagination does them. Here are 75 novel and wonderful boats--some strange, some beautiful, all of them paragons of Philip Bolger's form-follows-function design philosophy. This is the first collection of Bolger's work in almost 15 yearsIf you have a penchant for independent design this book is a source of many ideas. My favorites are the two of the model Dovima-- with the elephants in 1955 and in front of the pyramids in Eqypt in 1951.The photograph of Peter Orlovsky and Allen Ginsberg, naked and embracing, that was-- I believe-- the cover for an issue of "Evergreen" magazine in 1963 made the cut, as did Andy Warhol and members of the Factory (1969). Taubman entitles his epilogue Losing the Inventive Spark, claiming that not only have we lost the groundwork intelligence, but that our technological drive toward intelligence is likewise not being developed as it once was. Mr. This is a sweeping history.The intelligence operations that had been started during World War II were new the United States in many respects; continuing this process on a global scale during peacetime and in civilian as well as military hands was also a new aspect. Not knowing what the Soviet Union was up to, particularly by a government whose members vividly remembered the attack on Pearl Harbor, was a threat to national security in and of itself. For some reason I never sought it out in bookstores, since I thought for no good reason that it was a rare item.The book is profusely illustrated mainly with contemporary drawings, paintings, and photographs. When playing chess, if the King is captured, you lose theHis hobbies are history, prophecy, and fantasy. He became obsessed with boat design not long after. Bolger was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, in 1927. In the spring of 1994 he married and went into partnership with Susanne Altenburger, whose tastes and amusements are similar but not identical. He now works in a sculpture garden of experimental boats of his imagining, still in Gloucester.
