...consecutive wins for the varsity from 2003 to 2005. Now, however, the Harvard varsity finds itself in an all-too familiar place but with an altogether new label at this year’s Sprints: that of underdog, one Harvard had shed in time to take the No. 1 seed into Sprints a year ago. The 2005 squad blitzed the field during the dual season to snatch the No. 1 ranking in the weeks before Sprints.This dual season was less dominant and more tumultuous, marked both by brilliance in bad weather and an uncharacteristic letdown in the final 20 strokes...
...under investigation for allegedly perjuring himself during grand jury testimony that took place in 2003. Bonds ran into trouble when he denied that he was aware that Victor Conte, the Willy Wonka of designer steroids, had provided him with anything more than supplements—“flax seed oil”—to bulk up. While cheating in baseball is rightly being scorned and receiving the attention it deserves, another brand of physician-prescribed cheating is all but ignored today. I’m talking about the cheating that takes place in the academic sphere under...

...cells--perhaps as few as 3% to 5%--that are the real culprits. At the latest meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, researchers at City of Hope Cancer Center in Duarte, Calif., announced that they had isolated a group of stem cell--like cells in lungs that seed the abnormal growth of small-cell lung cancers. Scientists at Stanford University took the concept even further. They were able to isolate stem cells from breast-cancer tumors and identify a genetic signature that allowed them to predict the progression of the disease. "Everybody wants to talk about cancer stem...
