...engineer and a technocrat under his populist rhetoric, because he can't lead a bee to honey, let alone a horse to water. Brown is different, because he's got the vibes, he's attuned to the cosmos, he knows where the flow is going--and is paddling upstream as fast as possible to get out in front and make it look as if he's leading the currents...
Almost. The four-mile ceremony of pain ended with the Crimson ahead again, the Sexton Cup secure in Newell Boat House again, and the rivalry in the nation's oldest intercollegiate sporting event again in Harvard dominion.

These can speed up or slow down the water and disturb the salmon battling upstream each spring to spawn. Indeed, biologists say that there has already been a drop-off in the number of fish in streams intersecting the Haul Road. Gravel and dust can be another problem.
