...Pedra Furada, located in a region of dramatic sandstone cliffs in the arid outback of northeastern Brazil, is probably the most exciting -- and most disputed. When archaeologist Niede Guidon of the School for the Advanced Study of Social Sciences in Paris first excavated the site in 1978, she found cave paintings, ash-filled hearths and what she believes are stone tools that are at least 30,000 and perhaps more than 50,000 years old.

Not all of Daumier's drawings have the fierceness of this one (how could any artist sustain it?), but they...
When you skate on thin ice for too long, it will eventually cave in on you. After surviving two ominously close calls last week at Cornell and Colgate, the luck of the Crimson (18-3-2, 15-2-2 ECAC) finally ran out last night, as Dartmouth (10-13-0, 8-11-0 ECAC) shocked the third-ranked Crimson here in Thompson Arena...
