...back to their single rooms with meals provided to their rooms by HUDS. Another 42 percent of students, who lived in shared rooms, were kept in Stillman Infirmary or other campus singles. About 11 percent of students were either sent home to convalesce if they lived within a 150-mile radius of Harvard, or moved to other off-campus locations...
Tucked away at the southern most tip of Laos, Si Phan Don (Four Thousand Islands) is an 8.5-mile-wide (14 km) archipelago where the Mekong fans out and the land dissolves into thousands of muddy, grass-covered islands, islets and sandbars. The fact that only three islands offer tourist accommodation (rudimentary at that) tells you that this far-flung part of Champasak province is in no danger of being generally discovered - yet.

As witnesses later verified, the 23-year-old had jumped out of a crowd of spectators about a half-mile from the finish line and simply sprinted to the end. An investigation revealed she had pulled a similar stunt in New York's race six months earlier. Unlike in Boston, she started and finished that race - but rode the subway for several miles in the middle...
