Kropf split time between catcher and third base last season, hitting .262 while seeing his time behind the plate dwindle as then-freshman Schuyler Mann established himself as one of the league’s best catchers. But he forever cemented his place in Harvard baseball lore last May in a one-game divisional playoff against Brown. With the Crimson’s season down to its final strike, Kropf’s RBI triple to right-center tied the game, and he scored the game-winning run moments later as Harvard lived to play another...
Swathed in smoke and murky lighting in the Avalon Ballroom on We. Nov. 13th, Les Claypool hunched over to sing into his distorted microphone. Though he resembles the Child-Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, complete with lank hair and bowler hat and a somewhat more modest nose, he is something of a visionary as well.

Bonds' presence destroyed the Cardinals in that contest...
...home of the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, is an eye-catcher that's also suited to its purpose. Architect Frank Gehry crafted the exterior in the warped-metal style he made famous with his Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. Gehry designed the interior to mimic real-world business environments. An oval classroom is reminiscent of a corporate conference room. The classrooms are interspersed among faculty offices and meeting areas so the "bosses" and the "workers" can bump into one another. The school also boasts a high-speed computer network with ports...
