At any rate, she and the majority of the 1,200 spectators gathered by the M.I.T. boathouse could agree with varsity coach Harvey Love that the crew had rowed well...
...just after dusk, and 46 skull-capped youngsters stood at their evening prayers in the synagogue of the Shafrir village farm school just outside Tel Aviv. They prayed: "If any design evil against me, speedily make their counsel of no effect and frustrate their designs. Do it for the sake...
