...Crimson cruised through the last 1500 meters at a top speed--the kind which a boat that includes world-class rowers Peter Sharis, Jon Bernstein, Phil Schuller, John Amory and Jack Rusher is capable of consistently achieving...
...name it, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop has an opinion, which he will give you with great certainty at high speed. There has never been a Surgeon General like him, not even Luther Terry, who slapped warnings on cigarette packs 24 years ago. It's a fair guess that Terry was never air-kissed by Elizabeth Taylor, the butt of jokes in Johnny Carson's monologue, was never a visitor to the set of Golden Girls, and never lectured Hollywood producers about showing safe sex in their programs.

...things over. "I'm second generation in this, you know, and I don't want my kids to be the third." He jiggles a foot and flops one go-ahead from his toes as he talks. "I'm out. I've never been arrested, and I've never used speed; you can't do that and survive what I do. But you really get an adrenaline rush from doing this sort of thing, and I'm an adrenaline junkie. If I wanted to keep on, I could make it big; I could make a couple million dollars...
