...crew ceased their infighting over which of them would be first in space only when it become apparent that none of them but a monkey instead, would lead the way. It is almost sad to watch the seven proud pilots ultimately realize that their work required little skill beyond stamina, and to demand technical modifications giving them more control-necessary only for their pride not for the mission...
...challenger had ever won more than two races, but that is merely a statistic. What was on display in Newport was nobility. The Australians showed technological brilliance, consummate sailing skill, luck, intuition, nerve, courage, stamina and fanatic determination to win.

As one Rome-based American allows, "It's a great year to be in Europe, to be thin and to have dollars." And stamina. Never in peacetime have so many Yanks deployed themselves across the map of Europe in search of entertainment, uplift and, dammit, a good time. It may all prove a little too much for some. But England, as usual, has the answer. Its name is Ragdale Hall. A gracious old country manor...
