That, and the jaw-dropping prices. The British-owned MegaBus, which arrived in the U.S. in 2006, offers a $1 fare to at least the first passenger to book a seat on each bus. BoltBus, a joint venture launched last year by Greyhound and Peter Pan that covers Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and Boston, offers the same $1 deals as MegaBus, whose routes include the Northeast corridor and major college towns in the Midwest. BoltBus caps fares at $25 each way. This means a weekday ride from New York City to Boston costs about a third as much...
...precise victim of his vitriol, though, remained exasperatingly ambiguous. The Vatican has engaged in fairly frequent shake-ups with thriller writer Dan Brown, including last year’s totally straight-faced denunciation of “The Da Vinci Code” as an “offense against God.” (The spats tend to come off as amusing largely because the church takes him far more seriously than the rest of the world does.) Yet it’s hard to imagine Brown—or previous bête noire J.K. Rowling—creating...
...manning Ron and Harry, is far easier than starting a real debate about what role religion can play in the arts. So far, the church’s reaction to complex—if provocative—creative products like Martin Scorsese’s “The Last Temptation of Christ” has generally been one of recoil; works of art that don’t aim to provoke have elicited no comment...

Michelangelo’s altar fresco “The Last Judgment,” a fundamental background work in any study of western art history, loomed over Saturday’s proceedings as the literal backdrop for Benedict’s welcoming speech. Yet during the heady days of mid-17th century Italy, around the same time that Galileo had his feet held...
That would be the last that the Crimson would hear from the Brown offense. Harvard reclaimed the lead less than four minutes later on the power play, when co-captain and defenseman Cori Bassett took a pass from junior Leanna Coskren and blasted a shot into the Bears net to give her team a 2-1 lead...
