If you can't beat a person, recruit him to your team and put him in charge. I am glad to see the cup back in America.

VALENCIA, SPAIN -- The America's Cup is America's again. It's Larry Ellison's and his Golden Gate Yacht Club's; it's 30-year-old helmsman James Spithill's and California tactician John Kostecki's. But beyond these history-makers celebrating a 2-0 rout to bring the Cup to the United States for the first time in 15 years, the Cup belongs to a graying, grinning, crooked-fingered sailor who hoisted sailing's top prize for the fourth time Sunday.

Coutts now won the Cup twice for New Zealand, once for Bertarelli's Swiss team, and now for the United States. Ellison is happy. The Oracle software billionaire, fourth-richest man in the world, has been chasing the trophy 10 years. "I'm exceptionally proud," he gushed. "Especially proud to bring the Cup back to the United States after too many years."
