Imagine, if you would, a Southern Baptist evangelist standing atop the steps of Widener Library, exhorting passersby to pray, denying the validity to other faiths, and declaring the divinity of Jesus.

...Davey’s study. The 1996 photograph “Otis” shows the room crowded with shelves of books, low-hanging fluorescent lights, and assorted stereo equipment. The print’s title is ostensibly a reference to an Otis Redding CD that is propped upright atop a stack of vinyl records.

(2.5 million cu m) of dirt to build eight miles (13 km) of levees around the site. Dozens of cranes work late into the evening piling the dirt atop bulwarks nearly 65 ft. (20 m) tall in places. As the mud rises, so must the levees, but so far Lusi seems to be outpacing human engineering. Twice the earthworks have been breached - most recently on Jan. 4 - flooding more houses. On Nov. 22, 2006, the weight of the soil...
...fifth-best 5.40m leap. Freshmen Jessica Fronk and Dina Emde rounded out the Crimson effort with 5.12m and 4.44m jumps for eighth and 17th place finishes, respectively. Stanton and classmate Clara Blattler finished in a three-way tie with AirTime Athletic’s Ashley Nolet atop the pole vault finishers by clearing a 3.65m bar. With fewer misses than the other two, Blattler took first place in the event. Junior Becky Christensen rounded out the Harvard competitors with a first-place 1.78m clearance in the high jump. “A lot of people...
