These performances "set the tone for the rest of the meet," Coach Stephanie Walsh said last night. The Crimson went on to win nine events, including the final 400-yd. freestyle relay, and the same names kept cropping up in the win column...

By twelve, he started a fully annotated catalogue of Netherlandish drawings and, even more surprisingly, kept at it for three years. At 15, he wrote a life of Rembrandt.
