...some of the derring-do has gone out of the climb. A few weeks ago an Italian expedition of 64 climbers brought in 60 tons of equipment, including two helicopters, to put eight men at the top. "A very competent military operation which had nothing to do with mountaineering," huffed Sir Edmund Hillary, who with Tenzing Norgay had raised the British flag on the summit. Hillary, who devotes himself to building schools for Nepali Sherpa children in the Everest region, said he hoped the crest would be left to small parties of climbers. "It's now reached the height...

As the front runners passed through the outlying suburbs and headed toward Newton and its infamous Heartbreak Hill, a wickedly long climb six miles from the finish line in Boston, they were cheered on by more than 500,000 spectators lining the route. Children darted into the street offering slices of oranges and cups of Gatorade; one homeowner charitably placed his lawn sprinkler in the middle of the road to cool...
