...probably archaeologically sensational": 432 copper, bronze, ivory and stone decorated objects that seem to be mace heads, scepters, crowns, powder horns, tools and weapons.

Yet each day, a mountain of precious snow melts away. And yesterday, in one of the most grotesque displays of municipal extravagance since the last snow storm, the City of Camridgbe began its wasteful and shocking dumping of snow in the Concord Avenue Dump...
