...success of American hurdler Edwin Moses shows how critical changes in technique can be. Before the 1976 Games, Moses, a physics major in college and a strong proponent of sports science, analyzed his stride and discovered that it was longer than most hurdlers'. That, he figured, could enable him to shave a step from the traditional 14 that most competitors took between vaults in the 400-m hurdles'. Moses won the gold and wrote a paper on the biomechanics of running 13-step hurdles. Four years ago, at the U.S. Olympic trials, backstroker David Berkoff set a new world record...

...world's greater understatements, Bunting's architectural book notes that "the Science Center is not entirely satisfactory from a visual standpoint." Designed in 1970, the building was financed largely by Edwin Land of the Polaroid Corporation. Many a Harvard student have peered out a Canaday window, trying to locate the building's flash and shutter...
