...time champion of the New England women's singlehanded competition, Trotman was twice named the leading woman sailor in New England. In 1987, 1988 and 1989, she was listed as one of ten outstanding college women sailors, Horn said...
...intelligence agencies eager to justify their budgets may be indulging in some self-serving threat inflation, but there is little evidence that the SVR is pulling back. FBI sources, for example, say that this year alone Russian agents have tried to recruit several U.S. citizens as spies, including a sailor based at the U.S. Navy's giant Hampton Roads facility in Norfolk, Va. Wayne Gilbert, the FBI's counterintelligence chief, complains of a continuing influx of Russian agents disguised as businessmen and tourists.

The fortepiano passages contain moments of intense, near-pictorial portraiture, such as in the "Sailor's Song" and in "Fidelity," which speaks of "rushing winds" and the "tempests." There are also languid moments of introspection, most notably in the "Spirit's Song," "She Never Told her Love" (the setting of Shakespeare) and "The Wanderer...
