...Francisco did not mention the islands in the list of surrendered Japanese territories-a fact that the Japanese use to bolster claims that the islands are still theirs. But in 1952, Seoul declared that the islets were within Korea's borders and ordered the arrest of any Japanese boat that crossed the so-called "peace line." South Korea built a lighthouse and a helipad on the islands, and stationed coast guards there. A string of showdowns followed before Japan and South Korea normalized relations in 1965: Korea seized 300 ships (mostly fishing boats), and made 4,000 arrests, resulting...
...first of Japan's many 20th century land grabs. Korean kindergartens teach children songs about Korea's glorious eastern islands, the Dokdo. In 2005, almost 20,000 Korean tourists (including one wedding party) visited the islands, even though it's a $350-per-person, five-hour boat trip from the mainland. According to a report by Peter Beck, the Northeast Asia project director for the International Crisis Group, "One would be hard pressed to find a single Korean over the age of five willing to admit that control of Dokdo does not matter."

The Bulldogs had the advantage of the inside lane as the three crews prepped...

Harvard, however, quickly set to work on opening up the early stalemate, and the Crimson began a steady walk on Northeastern shortly after the settle into the first 500 meters...
...simple reason for this defeat.“That race was probably one of our worst races of the season,” heavyweight senior Laura Martin said. “We had problems from the beginning.”Despite these problems, the team sprinted ahead by a boat length over the first 1000 meters. But Radcliffe never got in rhythm, never raced in unison, and as a result, the team fell back over the third 500 meters. The Black and White, despite a strong final sprint, could not catch BU, as the varsity eight was edged...
