In addition to the adult Morris dancers, similarly flower-laden children...
Only nature had any hope of stopping the Harvard heavyweights on Saturday morning.And as it turns out, nature didn’t have much luck, either. The Crimson varsity heavyweights demolished Northeastern early, then worked to overcome a brutal cross tailwind and terribly choppy water in a rout over the Huskies early Saturday morning on the Charles River. “The water was basically Class 3 rapids,” varsity seven-seat Andrew Boston said. “I don’t know what to call it—it was almost like white-water rafting...
