...Mitchell is a casualty of a failure that drives his country mad. For generations, the All Blacks have been the world's outstanding team, with a 75% win record against all rugby-playing nations, many of which have never beaten them.

...beat 'em and I beat 'em again." He and Elizabeth fall into a little routine onstage-she's the smart, gabby wife, he's the exasperated but loving husband-and when she interrupts him by mopping up some water that has spilled at his feet, he pretends to get mad. "Quit frettin' about it! Y'all stop messin' around and listen!" People laugh-husbands nudge their wives-and then they lean in and listen, because Edwards is bearing down now, telling them they need "real change in America, serious change" and they won't get it by replacing George...
