...only fly when I absolutely have to, and I don't enjoy it. I know how vulnerable our aviation system is, and what you have now is a game of catch-up. If we'd made aviation security a priority, we wouldn't be responding to things, we'd be prepared for them. But until we decide as a nation to care about homeland security and do that, we're always going to be reacting. That's not a good place...

...You’d like to be able to get through a boat, and to get within two seats and give it back ten strokes later is not what a crew wants to do.”Throughout the second 1,000 meters, the Crimson continued its game of catch-up, using an increased stroke rating in concerted pieces to try to pull even. Twice more Harvard pulled to within two seats, and twice more Dartmouth quelled the move and responded with one of its own to pad the margins again. Never did the Crimson pull even, and never...
