...executed a memorable 92-yard return for a score in Harvard’s 42-14 win over Dartmouth. And he didn’t get another opportunity for the Crimson on Saturday until a Big Red onside kick late in the second half, partly due to a scare that took place midway through the second quarter...
...used refractometers to test the sugar content of grapes at Sterling before we picked them. At Acacia, we tasted every wine grape I've ever heard of. Then the head winemaker showed us their alternative pest-control system: a falconer. Besides learning that falcons scare starlings away from grapes by swooping down at 200 m.p.h., we learned that falconers are just about as geeky as you might have thought. At Beaulieu Vineyard, we used pipettes, beakers and a calculator to make our own blend of red wine, which was then bottled with storeworthy labels featuring our names. They were like...
...samples, since the nose's ability to discern differences declines as choices rise. Toward the end of the process the Sony execs had nearly settled on a blend of orange and vanilla, with a hint of cedarwood added to the mix so the feminine-leaning smell wouldn't scare off men.

...play always battling back.” After an odd pregame musical play list featuring both current pop and original Tupac, play began in a similarly disjointed manner. Neither team was able to find an opening in the early minutes as play centered at midfield. The Crimson got a scare shortly thereafter as the Huskies earned a penalty corner. Northeastern sophomore midfielder Ashley Bascetta passed the ball in to senior forward Whitney Shean, who loudly rocketed the ball off the near post. Shean would continue to pressure, taking four of Northeastern’s ten shots. The Crimson threatened...
