...four of the structures are included on the National Register of Historic Places. The earliest--the Joseph Reed House--dates from about 1780, while Farwell's store, at the main intersection, was built in 1792. The four separate, three-story structures were connected behind a single store front in 1896, Charles Sullivan, executive director of the Cambridge Historical Commission told the Boston Globe...
Young's 1972 album, Harvest, was one of his biggest, earliest solo hits, featuring the No. 1 song Heart of Gold. In 1979, working with the band Crazy Horse, Young released Live Rust, a commanding concert album that's among the finest ever made. Since then he has drifted through many styles, from the cold, synthesizer-laden Trans (1982) through the bland blues-bar rock of This Note's for You (1988) to the sublime country pop of Harvest Moon (1992).

Long before it works its turbulent magic at puberty, long before we are even born, estrogen leaves its indelible mark on our mental functions.

Subtle differences between the male and female brain can be traced to the influences of estrogen and testosterone in the womb. (While all fetuses are exposed to their mother's estrogen, male fetuses produce testosterone in their testes by the 12th week of gestation.) Particularly affected is the hypothalamus...
...electrifying as the discovery was, the news just announced by the French Ministry of Culture is equally astonishing. Radiocarbon dating showed that the images aren't 20,000 years old, or even 27,000 (the age of what had been believed to be the earliest cave painting, at Cosquer cave near Marseilles), but 30,000 years or more -- making these the oldest cave paintings ever found. The dating is based on eight paint samples tested at three laboratories. If it holds up, says New York University anthropologist Randall White, an expert on prehistoric art, "it's a pretty big shock...
...online age-or maybe a backlash against it -- but book reading has suddenly gone aggressively public. The old-fashioned bookstore has been transformed into a convivial hang-out spot where customers can get cappucino, conversation, and a cushy chair for perusing the latest Elmore Leonard or the earliest Dostoyevsky...
