...feel like an American: "I want your confidence and purpose, I want your teeth and tans." But he cannot help hearing the hell raised by garbage trucks between 4 and 5 in the morning, cannot really swallow the harsher barbarities of New York fad cuisine ("fillet of hake in lager and cranberry sauce . . . roast baby pigeons in fresh grapefruit nests"). When city smarts are called for, Henderson loses his nerve. Convinced that he is being attacked on a dark street, he flings his wallet and credit cards to the sidewalk and injures his knees as he runs away. The "muggers...

...trials that he is among the world's best at handling a 12-meter yacht. Relaxed and modest, he was quick to admit error. He also had the fervent loyalty of his crew. By contrast with previous years, when the Aussie sailors downed Foster's Lager in Newport's pubs till the wee hours, Bertrand's men trained like commandos for the marine assault. Off Newport, long considered mare nostrum by the American defenders, Bertrand developed a feel for wind and water conditions unmatched by many Americans who have sailed these waters since adolescence...
