Four Radcliffe crews faced off against a slew of collegiate and international foes in the annual Head of the Charles Regatta yesterday afternoon. Despite the tough competition, the Crimson women drew on the hometown crowd to post a set of excellent early-season results.The lightweights raced first, fielding two boats in the lightweight eight division. Radcliffe’s first varsity eight placed sixth overall and third among collegiate crews with a time of 17:36.954 for the 5K race.“I think we were hoping to place a little better than we had, but that being said...
...parents named him Edward Schreck, but never before has there been a more fitting nickname for a man standing six feet seven inches tall than “Teddy.” Despite his towering stature, men’s heavyweight crew captain Teddy Schreck projects a warmth that engages anyone, whether he’s displaying Quincy House pride or working nights as a bartender.

Both the heavyweight and lightweight men’s varsity crew teams open this season in an unfamiliar position as underdogs.

...thud on Liberty Island's stone coping, a few yards from the water. A Russian man named Vladimir Ossovski performed a similar stunt a year later when he jumped from a bridge in Rouen, France into the river Seine. In 1975, a member of the CN Tower's construction crew parachuted off the building - at 1,815 feet (553 m), the world's tallest free-standing structure - and was promptly fired. That same year, a man from Queens parachuted off the top of the World Trade Center and was arrested by security guards once he landed...
...Laband and his crew crunched the numbers, and found that those with the football paraphernalia were almost twice as likely to vote. "I was very, very surprised," Laband says. Up to this point, most behavioral research has focused on the correlation between the likelihood of voting and displays of political expression - membership in a party, or "Vote Smith for Congress" signs on the porch. "These results show that different kinds of expressive behavior, voting and football fandom, are linked somehow, even if they don't have the common thread of politics," he says...
