...every year,” senior skipper Jon Garrity said. The women’s squad finished its season with a 10th-place effort at the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association Women’s National Championship from May 25-27. The co-ed squad competed in the ICSA Team Race National Championship from May 29-31 and the ICSA/Gill National Dinghy Championship from June 1-3. The women’s squad was led throughout this season by senior skipper Megan Watson, who ended her stellar Harvard career with a selection to the ICSA Women’s All-America...
...yard and 800-yard freestyle relays, setting a new school benchmark in the latter. “[The 800-yard relay] was a really great performance,” Clarke said. “I think that was the first time [we’ve] ever won that race. It’s definitely the first time that we’ve beat Princeton since I’ve been here. They have a really impressive group of 200 freestylers, so beating them was a pretty big accomplishment.” Those records represent just a fraction of Harvard?...

Across the centuries, eugenicists and practitioners of other junk sciences argued that cranial volume could reveal important things about the intelligence or other traits of one race compared with another.

Researchers recorded players' height, weight, blood pressure, total cholesterol and self-reported health histories, and compared that data to an age- and race-matched sample from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study, a population-based study of more than 1,900 healthy men aged 23 to 35. Despite being nearly four inches taller and more than 60 pounds heavier on average than their nonplaying peers, NFL athletes had similar blood levels of cholesterol and triglyceride, and lower fasting-glucose levels (high fasting glucose is a common marker for diabetes). What's more, when examined by race, black...
...Race-relations experts, meanwhile, did double takes. As recently as 2007, a poll conducted by Bendixen and the California-based New America Media organization had found that a majority of Hispanics and blacks preferred to do business with whites than with each other. But in a Gallup survey last year, about two-thirds of each group suddenly said they thought their relations were good. "From a Hispanic perspective, Obama's election didn't just mean that a black man could be President, but that any minority person could," says Freddy Balsera, a Miami-based consultant who headed the Obama campaign...
