...real talent isn't so much acting as having a good time while acting on the side. Say what you like about him, Moore is not vain, and he doesn't have exaggerated ideas about his abilities as a thespian. He cheerfully cops to having been the most lightweight of Bonds.

With the air crisp, temperatures in the low 50s, and clear skies, weather conditions for the 44th annual Head of the Charles Regatta could not have gotten any better.Fittingly, both the Harvard men’s lightweight and heavyweight crew teams took advantage of the great weather and fared extremely well in an event that featured almost 2000 boats and over 8000 rowers.While the other three crews—the lightweight four, the lightweight eights, and the championship eights—held their own against the rigorous competition, it was, as always, the Crimson’s heavyweight championship four...
