...Rainbow Warrior is a tough old British trawler whose blunt bow has frequently poked into waters where it has not been welcome. It belongs to Greenpeace, an international environmental group that opposes whaling. Last week Greenpeace carried out its most daring protest yet.

Father's) in their plans for six days of the seek, but rather make up for their weekly abstinence on the seventh While leaving the other days for the Cantabrigian locals, the Wednesday night happy hour deal of $2.25 per pitcher of Knickerbocker beer is too good to keep people away from this cavernous establishment. If you want to break new ground however, pitchers go for $3.95 other days...
