The coaming of a racing single, particularly a wooden one, is very vulnerable to the impact of a falling body, so the smart sculler, having lost his balance goes limp and slides out of his boat like an otter, to deal with the next order of business as philosophically as possible.
With a very firm grip, play the oar until the loom is covered perhaps two feet and hold until it is possible to roll the face of the blade against the water.

Frank is a practicing psychoanalyst in Washington, and is on the faculty of the George Washington University Medical School.
Frank: I don't entirely share that view, because my view is that he is a puppet who chose his puppeteers, so in that sense he is dependent on him, but in another sense I think he is dependent on him for supporting his decisions, but I think that Bush makes the decisions.

 Gale - Free Resources - Women's History - Biographies - Anne Frank   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Frank's diary is at once a candid self-portrait, a portrayal of domestic life, an account of people threatened with imminent death, a depiction of experiences and problems common to young adults, and an examination of universal moral issues.
The early childhood of Frank and her elder sister, Margot, was secure, loving, and comfortable, but the year of Anne's birth also marked the onset of a worldwide economic depression, a catastrophic event that affected the lives of a great number of Europeans.
Because Frank's diary was not written as creative literature, and because of the extraordinary circumstances of the author's life, critics most commonly discuss the human and historical importance of the work rather than its aesthetic or structural elements.
