...prime waterfront dock space, and started recruiting. In Simon's Town, the sailing school now accommodates more than 300 children. Some of them are around one afternoon when Mgedeza and Burricks visit with a group of journalists, maneuvering hand-painted bos'n's dinghies and tiny plastic Optimists around buoys in the harbor. Ask any kid here what he wants to do when he grows up, and he'll say he wants to sail on Shosholoza. "They've proved that they have the passion and the inspiration to take on such a tough challenge," says Alinghi's helmsman and sports...

Some of the office assignments have an air of hilarity. From them, you can almost reconstruct what must have been agonizing discussions by the committee charged with divvying up Hilles’ offices. Perhaps Harvard’s World Model United Nations and International Business Club—which share...
Midway into his election night speech, Mayor Ray Nagin reached into his pocket and pulled out a plastic device with a tiny speaker on one side. "I just found something they're selling for $8.95," the New Orleans mayor told a crowd of supporters. "It's called the Mayor in Your Pocket." He gave the novelty item a couple of squeezes and out came tinny-sounding snippets of vintage post-Katrina Naginese: "You've got to be kidding me! This is a national disaster!" The mayor basked in howls of laughter as the toy squawked. "They're making money...
