...Michael Fay, head of the New Zealand team, decided to strike back. Citing a provision in the deed of gift, which sets out guidelines for the competition, he challenged the U.S. to a one-on-one rematch. San Diego had not planned on a defense until 1991. But Justice Carmen Ciparick of the New York Supreme Court, which oversees the deed, upheld New Zealand's rogue challenge...
...some U.S. urban areas, older parents are becoming the norm. Author Martha Fay, 41, mother of a five-year-old daughter, says of her West Side Manhattan neighborhood, "Some of the mothers look so old they don't appear biologically capable of having had these children.

...committee of Cup heavyweights has proposed amending the rules so that renegade challenges and disagreements among competitors can no longer disrupt the festivities -- and the cash flow for the regatta's host city. Although Fay approves of the idea, he still intends to go back to court to challenge last week's outcome. If the judge agrees that the cat was illegal, the mug will go to New Zealand. In that case, Conner said he'd just have to go Down Under and win it back again. Maybe the next time they'll both be sailing in turkeys...
