...Feaster predicting any more victories this year, but you can expect several more impressive performances from her before she departs the hallowed halls of Harvard for the prime-time parquet of the WNBA. And you can expect the Crimson to chalk up many more wins with Feaster at its helm, even if she doesn't announce each...
...Yale loses to Harvard, Siedlecki will have the dubious distinction of having been at the helm of the Bulldogs' first winless Ivy season since 1958.

Tsibliyev would be at the helm in the core module, watching the monitor and operating the joysticks as the vessel approached. Lazutkin would be behind him, peering out a nearby window to call out the spacecraft's coordinates. Foale would be dispatched to the station's most distant module, the Kvant, where the unmanned ship would actually dock. Shining a laser range finder out the stern porthole, he would measure Progress's distance...
