...while Omodele-Lucien also rolled in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3. Rounding out singles play at the top spot was senior Ashwin Kumar, who defeated his opponent 6-4, 6-4. Despite making no attempt at returning a few early lobs, Kumar used his strong baseline play to wear down his opponent and clinch the win. In early doubles play, Harvard continued its recent dominance by taking two of the three match-ups. One surprise, however, was who lost. The top pair of Kumar and junior Sasha Ermakov fell 8-9 (7-2).

But it's hardly foolproof, says Butler: "Eventually [pirates] get used to it and wear earmuffs." Still, even imperfect security measures can help deter pirates. "The risk is unknown, so all you can do is take precautions," said Butler. "If they see the boats are protected, they'll find another target...
...embarrassment of riches is a cornerstone of Harvard culture; we don’t wear insignia clothing, we expertly understate our own talents and accomplishments, sometimes to excess, and we’re only ever keen to admit that we go to Harvard—“drop the H-bomb,” that is—when we’re trying to pick someone up at a bar. (It works. Sometimes.) Of course, we’re deeply (but secretly) pleased every time the Harvard admissions rate loses a point or two—we?...
