...women's team boasts a strong 4x400 relay team, that has clocked the second fastest time (3:51) going into Heps. Senior captain Amanda Williams, who was last year's 400 meter champion, is favored again in this event. And senior Karen Goetze is running strong in the 800 meters coming close to breaking the 2:12 barrier this season with a best...
...turned out, she won that race too. Her time of 2:54.39 was the fastest ever run for the event by a Harvard woman and easily qualified her for the ECAC's in two weeks...

The speediest space probe would take millions of years to reach them; even a radio signal, the fastest known thing in the universe, would need 35 years to get there, and it would take another 35 for any aliens, should they exist, to answer. The planets are so dim that they cannot be detected directly. In fact, the only evidence Marcy and Butler have is observations of tiny...
