...bandits waited out the deluge last Friday, the 40 Scouts were able to creep within 30 m of their camp. Hoping to overwhelm the kidnappers with a surprise attack, they started firing. Their goal: to free the three hostages ? a prize that over and over had eluded the Philippine army and the 1,200 American advisers sent in January to assist the local military. But when the fighting ended several hours later, things had gone badly wrong. Martin Burnham, 42, a Christian missionary from Kansas, lay dead in the jungle. The nurse, Ediborah Yap, 48, had been shot...
...probably saved almost 200 lives, but it did little to assuage my tragic thoughts when I boarded a transatlantic plane at the beginning of intersession a month later. As red-clad Virgin Atlantic stewardesses went up and down the aisles demurely serving dinner, a heretofore-unknown seriousness seemed to creep into the sides of their smiles.

Boylston’s second-floor café often escapes the less Yard-savvy café patron, but when horrid images of Spanish A creep back from alcohol-induced selective amnesia its location crystallizes in the cerebral fog. “Yo hablo bueno español, por que tu me dio una C?” The menu at Boylston is not as cultured as its patrons, who hail from such departments as literature and classics, though it does offer sushi for $5 and lasagna for the same. The red booth benches are absurdly comfortable and quick to conform...
...very good weekend on the mound for junior Barry Wahlberg. After taking the first loss on Saturday, Wahlberg came on to replace junior Matt Self. Self had pitched four solid innings and allowed one unearned run, holding off the Lions long enough for the Crimson to creep within a run after being down...
