Tradition is firmly with the U.S. In in years, the U.S. has never lost a match for the quaint Victorian monstrosity that cost 100 guineas (about $500) new and remains securely bolted to the bottom of a glass trophy case in the New York Yacht Club...

There was no nonsense, of course, about starting from the bottom. When he was 26, his father retired, and he took over-not so much by settling down to hard work as by stirring the Herald to his own pitch of capriciousness.
