...that "The Anglo-Saxon race is the only one that fully appreciates the moral influence of physical culture," we all might have been spared synchronized swimming. Instead we might be cheering as the world's finest athletes hurl themselves downhill in pursuit of a piece of cheese or watching slo-mo replays of bloodied shin kickers or muddied bog snorkelers going for the gold. For, as J.R. Daeschner relates in his obsessive, down-and-dirty travelogue, True Brits (Arrow Books; 340 pages), they're the kind of thing that passed for "physical culture" among the Anglo-Saxons of yore...

"The impact of ephedra on temperature is minimal and therefore could not have been a primary factor, in my view," says Richard Kreider, president of the American Society of Exercise Physiologists...
...Each image is ravishing: clouds rushing over low mountains; a sword point that slo-mo slices through drops of water; lovers curled into each other, sleeping under red silk; a sword fight in a grove of golden leaves that turn red, plum, magenta and fall like fat confetti; soldiers squatting in a circle, caked in clay; a gray landscape of dunes daubed with Cheung's turquoise gown...
