Islands “Return to the Sea” (Equator) 4 Stars Image changes are hard to pull off. Ask Gary Coleman, or JC Chasez—once you’re classified by your audience, abandoning your niche can be a perilous career move.

Twice more Harvard pulled to within two seats, and twice more Dartmouth quelled the move and responded with one of its own to pad the margins again. Never did the Crimson pull even, and never did the margin grow to more than six seats. The separation stayed consistent through the finish line...
