...seeded school going into this event, the Black and White has a strong chance of being in the top 16 to qualify for the NCAA championships taking place later this month. The rest of the heavyweight team had similar success, as the second varsity eight managed to pull away with a bronze medal despite being seeded fourth. Following Brown and Yale, which pulled 6:34.2 and 6:39.7 respectively, Radcliffe bested the No. 3 seeded Princeton with a time of 6:42.45. The remaining heavyweight races included a tight third place finish in the varsity A four, with Radcliffe falling...

It's not hard for a spacecraft to change its altitude, but shifting its orbital plane is monstrously hard and energy-consuming, and the shuttle would never be able to pull off such a maneuver. So, the fallback for this crew is another whole orbiter, the shuttle Endeavour, which has been poised on Pad B at Cape Canaveral since before Atlantis launched, just in case a rescue is needed...

But four-chord, straight-ahead folk music proved, well, boring after a while, and Dylan betrayed the folk pedants by going electric--"Judas!" they cried in England--and the ideology-encrusted hard-liner Pete Seeger tried to pull the plug on Dylan's breakthrough performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival...
