...Prices for the two-hour excursion start from $110, and the payoff is breathtaking: flying at speeds of up to 50 km/h, with wing spans as wide as 2.4 m, the eagles skim the water and make their kills with astonishing precision before gliding back to the towering treetops or mountains behind. What's more, all this takes place just an hour's drive from Vancouver. Even if you're the kind of stay-a-bed who never gets going before breakfast, it's worth the early start to see the eagles enjoy theirs...

What ensued were three hours of music that Samir V. Rao ’08, co-presidentof Sangeet, referred to as “bliss.” At times, the listeners appeared...
...Stillman at least for anything but the usual punch + vodka + TLR misadventures.Why so fast, HUDS? Harvard has already had several epidemics strike campus: In 1948, an unidentified virus sickened more than 1,000 undergrads and was eventually traced to the Kirkland House kitchen. Most recently, in 1994, a 24-hour stomach virus struck nearly 200 freshmen, forcing the College to send students to outside hospitals as it dragged on a public health investigation. The response to 1994’s outbreak formed the basis for UHS’s current protocol. And post-9/11 fears led administrators to refine...
