...believers, this town is hallowed ground; to skeptics, it's an amusement park. But whatever you expect to find here, Lily Dale offers a chastening lesson. I chatted with Ron Ehmke at the Good Vibrations Café; he's here celebrating his 48th birthday. He considers himself an open-minded skeptic, and he thinks America's mood right now is "pretty apocalyptic." But he hasn't come here looking for comfort. He's "come to be challenged by things that defy rationality--kind of like this campaign has defied rationality...
...FARC's presence in Ecuador may be shadowy, but it's no secret. Ecuador spends more than $100 million each year to patrol the area.

However, the Buccaneers had sunk the Crimson’s Ivy League rivals Brown 4-3 at Provindence two days previously, while Harvard’s last action was a double header against Binghampton and Boston College on Feb 15. Despite this discrepancy...
...points and Kinner contributed 43 to Harvard’s team total of 407. Also back in action was freshman Margie Thorp, who placed 36th in the slalom. Thorp’s return boded well for Harvard in the GS, as she finished second-fastest for the Crimson behind 48th place captain Alexandra Teng in the GS. Teng’s two runs combined for a time less than a second faster than Thorp, who finished 50th. Thorp added 32 tallies, while Teng gave 18. As the Alpine team finished on a high note, so did the Nordic...
