...Burn After Reading, everyone laughed throughout the film. Comments made by these characters are comments I have heard throughout my life - exaggerated, certainly, but true.

...qualifying for the Women’s Singlehanded National Championship.Like in the weekend’s other regattas, weather was a factor in Connecticut—but this time a positive one. Since Watson is smaller than most other competitors, the light winds gave her an advantage in speed. Having ended Saturday in sixth place, Watson started strong on Sunday, placing fourth, second, and third in the first three races of the day. Events took a turn for the dramatic, however, when Watson struggled in her next three races—finishing sixth, ninth, and 16th, respectively. Qualification for Nationals...
