Ever wonder why so many students get up at 5 a.m. only to throw themselves at the mercy of the cold, polluted Charles River? The mysterious allure of rowing is the subject of Mind Over Water: Lessons on Life from the Art of Rowing, a new book by Craig Lambert '69. However, a fully satisfactory answer to this question is not to be found in this book. Lambert sets out to make the ordinary extraordinary and winds up doing so in an ordinary way.

But this smoking gun, at least, is simply blowing smoke...
WASHINGTON: Well, that's over with. The 105th Congress heads home to the campaign trail Wednesday after the Senate approved a budget bill that most members didn't even have time to read. At 4,000 pages and 40 pounds, with more than 70 legislative throw-ins that have nothing to do with fiscal policy, the 1999 budget sounds like something Ken Starr would dream up -- except that this document is sending Democrats home happy...
