Athletic Director Jack Reardon met the bus in front of Blodgett Pool to begin a tour of the Soldiers Field facilities. We had just come from Agassiz Theater in Radcliffe Yard, where the committee had heard a group of student actors sing selections from a Gilbert & Sullivan show. The need for increased funding for the arts (i.e., the "pitch") preceded the entertainment...
Colombian officials had heard such tales before. The Guajira region where Spradley and McLemore landed is rich in marijuana-most of America's pot comes from there (TIME, Jan. 29, 1979)-and for months the army has been cracking down on clandestine flights from the U.S. that swoop in, load up and head north.

A professor of philosophy at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, Hallie was obsessively studying the cruelties of the Nazi era. As he read the few pages that told of Le Chambon, the researcher found his face covered with tears. That night he decided to pursue the story. Within a year he was in the village itself, interviewing, piecing together the chronicle of how the village had organized and functioned, how its leaders...
