...thus needs continuous redefinition. Prussia's Karl Clausewitz (who died in 1831 of cholera) gave the modern starting point by defining war as the extension of state policy by other means. To him, victory was "the destruction of the enemy forces," but he held an equally warm regard for the limited objective. Defense was at least as strong a position as offense, and putting the enemy off stride as valuable as knocking him flat. To that extent, generals who could forestall defeat were as honorable as those who won famous victories...
...Pick a Card." Gimmicks and gadgetry are not all. The club has an unusually warm atmosphere. "It's the friendliest place I've ever been to," says one recent visitor. "When you stand on the fringe of a group, it opens up to include you." Members, staff, even the bartender patiently introduce people to one another. A cozy fire burns constantly in the air-conditioned bar. Best of all, there are the magicians.

...opportunity in all quarters of the globe. Now, in a brief delightful memoir, the old salt recalls with affection some of the finest hours he has passed between wind and water -a day in 1961 when everything went right, a day in 1956 when everything went wrong, a long warm summer's sail among the shining isles of Greece. Much of his time is spent making crusty pronouncements from the poop ("A marina is the yachtsmen's slum"), and there is nothing here for people who think port is something that comes in a bottle. But anybody...
