...there is "incontrovertible evidence" that Paul was buried at the site, are willing to guarantee that this sarcophagus will contain him. X-ray tests on it have already failed because of a layering of concrete and plaster that still surrounds most of it.

...take responsibility for each and every one of us.” Harvard faced challenges unique to dual meets for the first time all season. Dual-meet rules permit only one hour between weigh-in and competition. In larger tournaments, competitors usually enjoy a two- to three-hour gap. Some on the team seemed to have difficulty managing the challenge effectively. “All these guys have done it before, and I don’t want to use this as an excuse,” Weiss said. “If they as an individual did not respond...
