...hour's drive north of Damascus into the russet foothills of the Anti-Lebanon range, the road curves past an elegant stand of cypress trees. Suddenly the village cascades into view. The flat-roofed houses of mud and stone climb up the walls of a dead-end canyon of brown rock. Nestled in a crevice is the dome of a small convent, and high above, on the crest of the ravine, looms the Byzantine cupola of a monastery that, according to its lone priest, is 1,700 years old.

With good reason. The majority of U.S. citizens, after all, are graduates of the steerage class, and many of them can remember family tales of the crossing. Most have an intimate knowledge of the laborious ancestral climb from sweatshops to Blue Cross and double time for overtime, from the reeking streets to tract housing.

These are slumped against the walls in the position of Beckett's favorite figure from the Purgatorio, Belacqua, doomed to sit for ages with head between knees...
...quarterbacks continue their opening game habit of overthrowing wide-open receivers, the Crimson can always rely on the ground game. Marc Wheeler picked up more yardage against UMass than any B.U. back has in the Terriers first three games combined, while Harvard captain Teddy DeMars should continue his climb into the ranks of all-time Harvard rushing leaders, was happy about the blocking Harvard's ground attack received last week, particularly praising tackles Tim Manna and Bill Ferry...
