...brewer kept its edge in the modern world? The brewery at St. James's Gate still suffuses whole neighborhoods in the Irish capital with the rich smell of roasted barley, as it has for generations. The complex's old stone buildings are arranged to let beer flow downhill, so grain is stored at higher elevations while kegs are filled in low-lying areas next to Dublin's River Liffey. And the world-renowned stout is still as dark and creamy as ever. But little else about Guinness has stayed the same. The company has undergone a radical overhaul...

He does stretching exercises along with a radio broadcast, then eats breakfast: whole-grain rice and miso soup with vegetables.

The strands are made up of billions of bits of rubble and ice, some of them crystals smaller than a grain of sand, some of them boulders bigger than a house...
Cavanagh, whose father, three-time All-American Joe ’71, has already done plenty to ensure the family a place in the school’s puck annals, played the subsequent period with skate blades afire. He scored 10 seconds after the opening draw, cutting across the grain to backhand in Harvard’s first goal of the night. “That was the turning point,” Harvard coach Mark Mazzoleni said last week...
