...break the Herrell-Steve's price barrier, head down Cambridge Street to Inman Square, where a stop by Christina's Homemade Ice Cream shop will put you back in touch with the people. A kiddie cone at Christina's is about the same size as a single scoop at Herrell's, comes in more daring flavors, and is about 50 cents cheaper. Larger portions and sundaes are, well, LARGER...
...most insightful and passionate analysts of America's racial dilemma to emerge in recent years, the architect of a post-civil rights philosophy of black liberation that is beginning to be heard across the country. "I think he is one of our most important critical thinkers," says James H. Cone, West's former colleague at New York's Union Theological Seminary. "He has almost singlehandedly helped us see the importance of economic and class issues within the black community and the larger society." Henry Louis Gates Jr., head of Harvard's black-studies program, calls West "the pre-eminent African...

Williams was felled as well, but managed to drag himself to partial shelter behind a huge rock...
Pilots are particularly concerned about interference with the circuitry that picks up radio signals from the so-called VOR (visual omni-range) network -- hundreds of cone-shaped navigation beacons scattered across the U.S. Automatic flight-control systems depend on clear VOR signals to land planes safely when visibility is poor. But some of that VOR equipment has been behaving strangely of late, occasionally causing aircraft on autopilot to veer sickeningly out of control...
