Similar - or worse - disparities exist in congressional districts throughout the U.S. Republican John B. Bennett represents 177,431 people from the Upper Peninsula Twelfth District of Michigan, which he calls the nation's "smallest" and, less accurately, "the most important." Republican Bruce Alger represents 951,527 people in and around Dallas; his Fifth Congressional District of Texas is the nation's most populous.

Princeton's sprinters, Dan Carmichael and Bob Keck and the Crimson's Dave Bennett, Eric Klaussmann, and Dennis Hunter will be straining to beat a slow 23 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle and 51 seconds in the 100, either of which should be good enough for first...
