...half-dozen suites, the first is by far the most melodic and novice-friendly. In the resonant key of G major, Wispelway's cello soared as he tenderly executed the audible and pleasant arc up to the final G of the prelude. Particularly impressive was his rendering of the rocket fast Courante in the second suite. Shallow, Lamaze-style puffs were audible as Wispelwey frantically kept pace with the technical demands of double and triple stopped crotched chords in an actually quite introspective piece...
Continuing a pattern it has followed in its last three games, the Crimson blasted off to a rocket-fast start on its home field. By the end of the first half, Harvard was up 2-0, and Kohler was well on his way to his first career hat trick...
Harvard played hard, though, and neither team really dominated the bulk of the first half--that is, until the final few minutes when McLaughlin sent a rocket just inches over the crossbar from 18 yards...
That 2-0 cushion quickly became a 3-0 waterbed as the relentless Stauffer took advantage of chaos in front of the Boston College net to bazooka another rocket by the hapless Eagle goaltender...
...Rosens instead plan to blow away the field in part because Harold and his team of engineers have solved a set of daunting technological issues just in the past year. Harold is, after all, a rocket scientist. For instance, he has been able to create and sustain a relatively pure vacuum in which the flywheel spins, using such exotic devices as molecular drag pumps and molecular sieves. A better vacuum means less friction, thus better spin. He also has been able to suspend the rapidly spinning flywheel in its unstable environment by using sophisticated gimbals and magnetic bearings--something very...
