...Crimson made its first challenge at the half-way mark, pulling even with Vesper or even ahead by a foot with 20 power strokes, but Vesper opened up again a lead of half a length.

"The only time I stop yakking," he says, "is when Im asleep. I even had to quit smoking on the golf course because I nearly choked to death while I was talking."
