...himself as captain. She has no engine, but will carry a 15-ft. boat with a diesel that can serve to nose her up to a dock or through a narrow channel.

To his own surprise, Dallek's newly published F.D.R. and American Foreign Policy, 1932-45, has sold, instead of a few volumes to scholars as might have been expected, 10,000 copies in three months.
