...third heat should have the best racing. Third-ranked Brown, sixth-ranked Navy and Syracuse are all good crews. The Bruins are the fastest of the three with Syracuse and Navy very close. None of the three will be able to coast into the finals...
That's not to say that Princeton is a patsy. Far from it. This year's Tiger lightweight eight is a pretty damn tough unit. Last year's Princeton freshman boat was one of the fastest lightweight contingents ever to be assembled at the freshman level in the East. Add to that the departure of Princeton lightweight mentor, Woody Fischer (perennial second-placer to Harvard in his tenure at Old Nassau), and the advancement of last year's freshman coach Guy Kirkpatrick to the varsity level, and the Tigers are sitting pretty...
Residents have mixed feelings about this boost to their economy. San Diego is one of the fastest-growing regions in California, and thus there is a severe housing shortage; 1,000 Navy families are already on the waiting list.

...more subdued than the "classic" Protestant Pentecostalists whose churches date back to spiritual revivals that began toward the close of the past century. But even as churchgoing members of mainstream denominations, the new Pentecostalists keep their special spiritual exercises quite separate. The Roman Catholic Pentecostalists are currently the fastest growing: they number well over 100,000, up from a mere handful six years...
