Shevchik earned most of the Crimson's 20 points for the meet. His performance kept up Harvard's string of strong showings at the NCAAs. The Crimson finished 24th in 1999 and 11th...
...Motorola StarTac 7860 ($240). I decided to buy it partly because it's the latest in Motorola's venerable line of lightweight (4.4 oz.), pocket-size flip phones.

Founder Shawn Fanning, 19, wrote the original code for Napster while he was a freshman computer-science major at Boston's Northeastern University. An admittedly lousy guitar player, Fanning began writing the code so he could distribute his own six-string doodlings and squelch his roomie's constant whining about unreliable MP3 search engines. Back in the MP3 stone age--you know, eight months ago--too many links to too many tunes were outdated or invalid, frustrating many a prospective pirate...
