Osborn's new book displays an unfortunate tendency to unity of form and content. Sam Weston, a fledgling associate at Bass and Marshall, is somewhat at sea in what Osborn portrays as a paranoid, chaotic world of a Wall Street firm.

Strong says she feels her position in the six seat stabilizes the boat somewhat, while Munoz's presence at stroke helps the overall rhythm...
