There’s an apology I have to make here. As the beat writer for the Harvard sailing team, I’ve been responsible for covering the squad since March. Being honest, before I picked up the beat, the only thing I knew about sailing was that it took place on the water, and that there seemed to be some sort of racing involved...
...pregnant with metaphorical portent. What we have here, the front flap tells us, is “a startling look at how America lost its way.” It’s never exactly clear how or with respect to what America lost its way, and to be honest, I have no idea what this book is about—but look!

As my father says, “Stranger than fiction...”But have faith! Fear no evil, be not in want—seek out wonderful, undiscovered music, and goodness and love will surely follow. Be forewarned: the road to finding new tracks, as you may know, is unavoidably long and fraught with disappointment...
