...cloud. Two varsity lightweight eights donned spray-painted T-shirts proclaiming “Team Butt,” after varsity lightweight head coach Charley Butt.“People were laughing about that—I don’t understand why,” senior Brian Aldrich joked afterwards. “I guess they like Charley, too.”On the water, it was the men’s heavyweight four that asserted its dominance yet again for the Crimson. The senior-laden boat faced stiff university competition from Stanford, an infrequent Head of the Charles...
...first time the Harvard freshman lightweights had won Sprints since 1985. The talent was there, as was the speed, but the Crimson would be giving up as much as 60 pounds to its heavyweight opponents. “Every day, we were getting better,” Brian Aldrich says. “We had a novice [three-seat Chip Schellhorn ’07] in there who had never raced in a smaller boat than an eight before.

But they changed the Mafia to an, I don't know, atomic-weapons gang. It's as if the Rosenbergs didn't give the Russians the plans for a bomb but the bomb itself. They also perverted the relationship of Hammer and his police buddy, Pat Chambers. Wesley Addy...
