...able to keep it close and apply some pressure, but was never able to pull ahead as Brown rowed a 5:56 to win by five seconds. By getting so many of its boats into the water on the Charles, Harvard gained valuable perspective on the challenges that lie ahead in the spring season.“It’s definitely nice to have an indication of the crews, especially Brown since we will see them in the future,” Schreck said. “Different crews will bring different things, and it’s nice...
...both physical and intellectual. His 2001 installation, “Sticky Fingers,” features a large bed covered in a faux-fur blanket—evocative, Biggers says, of contemporary representations of “pimp” culture. Viewers were invited to sit down or lie on the bed. By the time the viewer-turned-participant gets up to leave the gallery, “The work,” Biggers says, “has touched them. Literally.” At the same time, Biggers’ pieces demand a mental engagement from the viewer...
...reverse Posada's good fortune. Wednesday night, federal prosecutors filed a superseding 11-count indictment against the aging militant in which, for the first time, the U.S. links him to at least the 1997 bombings. It doesn't directly charge Posada with the crime, but it accuses him of lying about his role in it, claiming he perjured himself and obstructed justice in 2005 when, while answering questions from immigration authorities, he denied involvement in the Havana attacks even though he had told the New York Times in 1998 that he'd taken part in them.

Guatemala's most popular Maya ruins lie at Tikal, but for real bragging rights you'll have to head deep into the Peten jungle, where you'll find the ancient city of El Mirador. Dating back to 300 B.C., it's about a century older and more than twice the size of Tikal. And while getting to Tikal is a simple matter of climbing into an air-conditioned vehicle, to get a glimpse of El Mirador's monumental temples you need to trek your way through the jungle - the nearest road is about 45 miles (75 km) away...
...partially excavated remains lie spread out in the forest, connected by stone causeways (the Maya were the world's first highway builders). The expanse of the site is breathtaking: thousands of ruins lie over an area of 23 square miles (38 sq km). Towering 236 ft. (72 m) over it all is the Danta pyramid, of greater volume than the Egyptian pyramid of Cheops and affording sweeping views of the lush green canopy. No trip to El Mirador is complete without a climb to this aerie of the gods - nor a wry contemplation from its summit of the long slog...
