...thin white tubes that nearly fill one cardboard box are pieces of tobacco pipes, Stubbs says. Mostly English in origin they were used between 1640 and 1760. Archaeologists can date the artifacts according to the hollow pipes, because over time, they were made with smaller and smaller holes...
...some, even the fear of agranulocytosis cannot compare with the hollow ache of lost possibilities. Kevin Buchberger, a former Little League star, had to jettison his dreams of playing pro baseball.
