...placed fifth out of a field of 25, and at the season-opening Mid Pines Intercollegiate in September, at which the team placed fourth and set a program record for its 54-hole team score. The Crimson has faltered at other points this season, however, including a dead last 18th-place finish at The McLaughlin Tournament at Bethpage Red. This past weekend’s performance is likely to be considered another disappointment. Scores were significantly higher across the board on the tournament’s second day, as swirling winds at the ocean-side golf course made judging distance...

Harvard freshman Maggie McVeigh scored the game’s first goal in the 18th minute of the first half to put the Crimson ahead, 1-0. McVeigh pushed it past Bulldogs goalkeeper Charlotte Goins with a long shot from the top of the left circle. The goal was McVeigh’s third of the season and the team’s first unassisted goal...

In his thunderous Snow Storm: Hannibal and His Army Crossing the Alps, it's not even clear just where Turner has placed the Carthaginian general. Could he be that minuscule silhouette in the middle distance on a tiny elephant...
There's no genie in a Chinese snuff bottle, but it's easy to see why these exquisite little phials - the height of fashion in 18th century Beijing - cast a spell on collectors today. Handcrafted from every material known to the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), including copper, glass, porcelain, jade, ivory and amber, each one is a miniature masterpiece of the applied arts. Rich in symbolism - achieved through decorative techniques such as enameling, stippling and relief carving - they served as courtly gifts and good-luck charms. And their social significance wasn't to be sneezed...
