Sixteen top New England teams vied for six spots in the ACC at King's point, N.Y. After placing near the top of the fleet in every regatta this season, including a second-place finish two weeks ago in the Schell Trophy Regatta, the Crimson expected the qualifiers to be a breeze. But by the end of the weekend, Yale was holding on to sixth place and Harvard was furling up its sails for the long winter...

However, the B-division support that had helped carry Harvard all year proved to be Harvard's Achilles heel in the weekend's races.

Until his ascension to GM president three years ago, he was often seen driving a motorcycle near his home in the sedate suburb of Bloomfield Hills, where he keeps a fleet of old cars he likes to tinker with. His engineering feats have become part of the company lore. In his early career he designed the front-wheel-drive transmission on the 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado, and in the 1970s he was the leader in one of GM's biggest breakthroughs: the catalytic converter, a revolutionary antipollution device...
