Throughout the dual season, crews have looked to shake the Crimson off of the start, and a six-boat setup on Sunday guarantees a furious first 20 strokes for the early advantage. Navy almost always jumps out early, Princeton and Yale pulled ahead of the Harvard boats off of the start, and Georgetown took the early lead from Harvard in the first varsity’s dual race with the Hoyas...
...rock and third-world rhythms. Takamba (a word the Tuareg tribe use to describe a camel's gait) splices hypnotic African grooves with crashing drums. He can even inject a dose of politics: Freedom Fries, a cutting attack on the Bush presidency, welds an offbeat guitar lick to the furious pounding of a Moroccan bendir drum.

It speaks to diplomats and governments, saying that we, the civilians, are watching and we are furious with the delay of action in Darfur. If the powers that be fail to take action, by decision or indecision, then we shall support those who do. By buying a green “Save Darfur” bracelet, you will provide non-lethal supplies—food, tents, gasoline—to troops who save lives and gather evidence to prosecute the masterminds of the genocide. As Harvard students...
