...current rating is based upon last fall's regatta results, when the Crimson squad walked away with the Mid-Atlantic and Atlantic Coast championships. Harvard finished the autumn schedule with three straight wins over highly-regarded Tufts, featuring Sam Altreuter, last year's Outstanding Collegiate Sailer...
...Those autumn victories and the national rating are all the team has in common during winter drydock. Most go separate ways during the months the Charles River is frozen over, picking up a winter sport of staying in shape lifting weights or running. Some fanatics even take on Marblehead harbor in off-season frostbiting...

The article is called simply "Travels Through America," and it begins with a short description of the autumn New England wind, the red-brick factories and the lawns on Route 128. Salisbury starts to tell the story of his great-grandfather's brother, Hiram, who lived around the turn of the 19th century in Chepachet, Rhode Island, farming and sometimes building sleighs for $17.69 each. Before he gets too far into...
