...Crimson is in a three-way tie for fifth place with UNH and St. Lawrence. The Wildcats should glide to two wins at Niagara this weekend, but winning won't be as easy for the Crimson and the Saints. Harvard hosts Yale and Princeton, while St. Lawrence (9-2-0, 4-2-0) hosts a pair of upper-division teams in Providence and Northeastern...
Again. And finally they get it right, the five impeccably lighted iMacs gleaming as they glide forward smoothly on the giant screen. "Oh! Right there! That's great!" Jobs yells, elated at the very notion of a universe capable of producing these insanely beautiful machines. "That's perfect!" he bellows, his voice booming across the empty auditorium. "Wooh...
...Monday morning, and Jobs is onstage at the Flint Center in Cupertino, obsessing. Tomorrow the auditorium will overflow with thousands of Apple loyalists; right now he's rehearsing the killer moment where he says, "Say hello to the new iMacs," and the machines glide out from behind the dark curtain and across the stage.

An 18,000-sq.-mi. expanse of shimmering water, waving sawgrass and emerald tree hammocks, it is one of America's most vital but abused natural treasures. Like the endangered wood storks that glide overhead, the fewer than 500 Miccosukees rely upon this unique "river of grass" for their survival as a tribe. And they rely on gaming profits to buy the multimillion-dollar legal and scientific clout they need to protect the Everglades. "The money allows us to be like the cowboys," says Cypress...
