Among the revised authors, Aristophanes' works stand to undergo a significant face lift, said Jeffrey Henderson, the playwright's new translator and a professor of classics at Boston University...
Last week's terse, 70-page report of the Marine inquiry into the February 3 Italian ski lift tragedy blamed the jet fighter's crew for the deaths of 20 people. But a closer read yields an interesting discrepancy.

It generally fell to women to lift America's spirits: Nikki Stone, told she could never ski again after a back injury two years ago, claiming a gold in freestyle aerials; or Chris Witty, daughter of Walter Witty (just one letter from a daydream), winning a bronze and a silver in speed skating...
