...canonically academic, it has become a thriving but little-known subculture for a few students on campus. Indeed, there are indications that the relative obscurity of the jazz program is not a negative phenomenon: not only does it mirror the status of jazz outside of Harvard, but it has allowed student devotees to connect with some of the most prominent jazz musicians in the world. THE MAN FROM ITHACAThe man who best exemplifies the small but well-connected status of jazz at Harvard is Thomas G. Everett, who came to Harvard in 1971. Everett graduated from the Ithaca College Conservatory...
...Yalini. Yalini is the daughter of Sri Lankan immigrants to the United States, her father a doctor and her mother a school teacher. She goes to university, where she studies incessantly and makes only one friend—in fact, he makes her his friend by refusing to allow her to withdraw from him as she did from all of her other fellow classmates.

...sewage into one of the wide "draws" - the dry stream beds that can suddenly fill in heavy rains, sending water downstream to the Colorado River, a vital source for agriculture and recreation. The FLDS hired a Dallas engineer to design a sewage plant for them, but they wouldn't allow him on the land, Nikolauk said, so an arrangement was made to haul sewage to the city plant. They always paid their bills - in cash. "I established rapport with two or three of them," Nikolauk says, but few members of the community were ever seen in town at the feed...
