...Norton 500 motorbike in 1952. The film was meant to show the burgeoning social awareness of the two men, one of whom became Che the guerrilla, the other a doctor in Havana. But all it proved was that a couple of upper-middle-class boys, who were too stubborn to wire their parents for money, met a lot of downtrodden but good-looking women...
...there is no good plan left, and this strategy has the best chance of success. Departing in the midst of widening chaos for which we bear responsibility would be an awful outcome, but that prospect is looming and time is running out. If we continue to stumble along our stubborn path, any exit strategy we could then design would be particularly treacherous.

The tribesmen were also allowed to keep their weapons...
...Greimann notched their second victory of the day in race six, but after Tulloch and Rodin hung a 10 on the scoreboard and the stubborn winds hinted they would linger throughout the day, both crews were swapped for taller, slightly heavier reserves at the expense of the familiarity that had served both teams so well in the first third of the regatta to avoid a costly capsize. Senior Clemmie Everett joined Tulloch for the day’s four remaining races, while senior Caroline Dixon served as Devlin’s crew for the seventh race...
