The explanation lies, as I believe, in the extreme imperfection of the geological record.

• Any demanding high technology tends to develop influential and dedicated constituencies of those who link its commercial success with both the public welfare and their own.

It provides a link between Australians of succeeding generations whether urging on a Donald Bradman or cheering and rejoicing in the America's Cup victory. Call it the spirit, the soul of sport - it will be in 2001 the same as it was in 1901.
