...attraction. The only other facilities are a tiny gift shop - selling Stonehenge Rocks! T-shirts - and an unappealing take-out food stand, both housed in ugly, shed-like structures. Maggie Livingstone of Suffolk, who last saw the stones more than 40 years ago when she was a youngster, was en route to Somerset with a friend when she decided to stop and visit them again. She was stunned that the facilities hadn't really changed in all those years. "It's quite extraordinary that they haven't taken care...
...past two months: facing yet another do-or-die weekend in the Ivy League. After clinching a share of the Ancient Eight championship last Friday at Brown, Harvard couldn’t close the deal and take the title outright, dropping a 64-58 loss at Yale en route to a three-way share of the Ivy crown with Dartmouth and Cornell. The league could not use a tiebreaker to name its representative to the NCAA tourney—the three teams each split two games with each other—so Plan B, a two-game, three-team playoff...

Along with freshman Jordan Diekema, junior Bill Jones, and senior Pat Quinn, Rathgeber set a pool, meet, and EISL record in the 400-medley relay, taking first place in a scorching 3:13:34. The same group would make an NCAA “B” cut en route to claiming the 200-medley relay as well. This 400-medley would not be the only record-setting relay, though, as Quinn, junior David Guernsey, and freshman Will Heyburn joined the athlete of the week in besting their own record in the 200 freestyle relay and claiming the record...
