ITHACA, N.Y.—In Harvard football’s second Ivy League matchup of the season, the Cornell defense was run over worse than Harvard Yard after a visit from a busload of international tourists. The Crimson rushing attack, spearheaded by junior Gino Gordon and freshman Treavor Scales, combined for 251 yards and four touchdowns, as Harvard (3-1, 2-0 Ivy) defeated Cornell (2-2, 1-1), 28-10, on Saturday afternoon at Schoellkopf Field...
...about steam as they have been about the finance industry over the past few years. On a blustery Sunday afternoon in May, a circle of visitors in all-weather jackets waits in front of the Strokkur geyser, a popular tourist attraction in southwest Iceland.

But lately, the northern Israeli site - also known as Tel Meggido - designated in the New Testament as the field of the final battle has become a popular tourist destination. Christians arrive by the busload eager to see the battleground where the world as we know it will end. At the souvenir shop, they flock to buy maps of where Jesus walked, and tiny vials of water from the Jordan River. The river may now be mostly a murky rivulet, but thousands of Evangelical Christians...
...Going NoKo Having myself tried to channel James Bond by crossing the DMZ into North Korea with a busload of South Korean tourists, I read Jenn Gearey's report with pleasure and a touch of nostalgia for the government minders, bugged hotel rooms, and forced deleting of photographs that made for a travel experience like no other [Jan. 14]. Hope seemed present: a "unification flag" flew outside our hotel and a KOREA AS ONE banner unfurled during an evening circus show drew the loudest applause of the night. As for generations past who cycled through Hitler's Germany or crossed...
