After Petropulos’ goal, the Bears won the ensuing draw control and began to stall again. With 2:33 to play, Harvard was whistled for a foul, setting up a scoring opportunity for Brown...
...form's prominent Hispanic-origins feature, she feels the feds still fail to understand "how layered the Latino self-identity is" beyond just language. North Americans call Oct. 12 Columbus Day, but Latin Americans call it Dia de la Raza - Day of the Race - a recognition that 1492 began a commingling of primarily Iberian, native American and African blood that in turn produced a new race, sometimes called mestizo.

Igor Yegorov was there to look for his wife. "She went to work as usual this morning, and I can't reach her. Hopefully it's just that the cell-phone networks are down. But I don't know," he says, pale and shaking as he waited to check the hospital list. By late afternoon, the flow of ambulances to the hospital had stopped, and service had been restored to the rest...
