...baton.For the uninitiated, baton twirlers perform a coordinated routine that combines dance and gymnastics, while simultaneously tossing a weighted metal rod. Twirlers often perform with competitive marching bands, most popular at large state universities and high schools in the midwest and south.Liles’ story began among the cow pastures of Rockdale, Texas. After she was admitted to Harvard, Liles, who lives in the rural Texan town, e-mailed the College’s band manager and volunteered to perform with the band. Her freshman year she had only four routines, which she mixed and matched to accompany...
...idle question. Despite concerns about hardening arteries and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or mad cow disease), the average American still eats 95 lbs. (43 kg) of beef a year, and the average European puts away 40 lbs. (18 kg). Yet in taste terms, little of the 66 million tons of beef produced annually is worth the cholesterol it contains. All too often, unwitting consumers splurge on a steak dinner and end up with shoe leather.

Did you know that vegans can’t eat honey because of the unnatural condition in which bees are kept? Or that the waste produced by one cow each day can equal that produced by 40 people?My room is eerily dark when I return to it—the new light bulbs are only to be turned on when I’m home. Still, I’m the reluctant, thorny plant in our thriving green house...
...Nutcracker” began its 40th season at the Boston Opera House yesterday. The historic venue will host thousands of theater-going Bostonians every weekend from now until the new year, officially ringing in the holidays with ballet’s major cash cow. But for the frugal-minded collegiate crowd (who are either too cold or too postmodern to leave the dorms for a night at the ballet), there is an alternative Tchaikovsky and E.T.A. Hoffmann fix. Get your hands on a copy of the 1977 American Ballet Theater production of “The Nutcracker...
