Then the bottom fell out. Six straight losses. Some of them close, some of them ugly. All of them frustrating...
...experiences this year were adverse. Another roommate recalls having a discussion about abortion with a friend located close to Memorial Hall. Since our phone was as just as good as the next one at picking up WHRB while it was broadcasting a football game, my roommate was gratified to hear cheering crowds right after he had made his "big point." The most interference of all, however, results from calling the Quad. Maybe the cosmic background radiation is the problem there, AT&T engineers would tell...
...Rainbow is a coming-of-age story set in turn-of-the-century Britain, when the modern world was also coming of age. In its first sequence, little & Ursula Brangwen (who will grow up to be played by an intense Sammi Davis) races dangerously close to the water, reaching out for the title symbol.

Sitting impassively on the sunbaked Giza Plateau on Cairo's outskirts, the pyramids look from a distance as though they have hardly aged in the more than 4 1/2 millenniums since they were built. But up close they look anything but eternal. Rubble and rock dust crumbling from the pyramid of Chephren have accumulated in piles on its lower levels. In the pyramid of Cheops, encrustations of salt, left by the evaporation of brackish groundwater, have eaten away at the walls of the burial chamber. The Sphinx, a few hundred feet away from the pyramids, has lost...
