Whether few or all of these interpretations prove correct, the commentary has undoubtedly heartened many of the voters who elected Reagan, who voted Senators George McGovern and Birch Bayh out of office, who passed proposition 2 1/2 in Massachusetts, who elected Alfonse D’Amato to the Senate from New York.

The year started encouragingly, with Harvard capturing its sixth straight win at the Stonehurst Regatta and then returning home for a resoundingly successful performance at the Head of the Charles. The Stonehurst winning streak, however, would prove to be one of the few that the Crimson would be able to maintain over the course of its season. Five years of perfect dual races came to an end in the Stein Cup, as Harvard suffered a heartbreakingly close, one-seat loss to the Bears. The Crimson had come...
