“gunmetal waters of the Hudson”?
In high school, I rowed in 8 man shell races at Poughkeepsie, a good bit farther up the Hudson. Even at Poughkeepsie the river water was brown, not gunmetal gray. Maybe the river has been cleaned up since the late 1950s but I suspect not. Worst place I ever had to row, especially when the race was run from downstream to upstream.
He looks just like the Actor that Pacino dispatched along with the crooked Police Lieutenant in The Godfather.
