...academic world for women to succeed in. “Woodlands definitely helped with my development as a person. I started to feel more comfortable with who I was and speaking up in class,” Marquina says. She carried this sense of self-confidence from the uniform-clad halls of Woodlands Academy to the steps of Widener Library, citing her single-sex education as the main reason for this easy transition.

...blue-and-white track suits are traveling the world to protect the Olympic torch, but, in the flame's tumultuous tour so far, they have become a symbol of Beijing's heavy-handedness.

At sundown, some 10,000 of the vermillion-feathered, migratory waterfowl return from days spent in Venezuela, just nine miles away, to roost in the mangrove swamp south of Port of Spain. The window is brief, as a tropical sundown can seem as swift as a blanket thrown over a birdcage, but the ibis do not disappoint. In the day's last light, pack after pack of ibis...
