After a much-talked-about start in which the team won six consecutive games, the No. 8 Harvard men’s soccer team fell at last to then-No. 3 Wake Forest this past weekend. The loss was the first real blemish on an otherwise perfect season. Now the Crimson (6-1) must bounce back for the first time this season, facing Yale in the Ivy League opener...
...course, you can't spot these plush digs from the highway. Hence new signage, from branding consultant Interbrand Design Forum, that's designed to signal this new, modern spirit.

Spend a morning hiking around the Tablelands, a slice of ancient ocean floor forced up when the continents of Africa and North America collided several million years ago. Then take a boat trip down Western Brook Pond in the isolated northern reaches of the park. Don't be fooled by the word pond: Western Brook is 10 miles (16 km) long. The journey through the jagged cliffs and cascading waterfalls will leave...
