With the Egyptians in their sights as they fended off the British and French, the Crimson’s rowers again increased the speed of their sprint—this time to 41 strokes per minute—and powered their way to a fourth-place finish at 5:41.59, just 0.36 and 2.97 seconds behind the Egyptians and heat-winner USA1, respectively...
...Arrested Development "What Makes Teens Tick" [May 31], on the new research into the brain physiology of adolescents, stated that "the last area of the brain to mature is the part capable of deciding, I'll finish my homework, take out the garbage, and then I'll IM my friends."
