...rescue workers gave their lives to help others, and the nation owes their families its condolences, gratitude and support. We also commend the many other stores in Harvard Square that have attempted in different ways to support their country in a difficult time. It has been impossible to miss the collections for myriad charities, the uplifting messages of support or the simple but heartfelt flying of the American flag that has taken place all around us. News coverage has clearly demonstrated that this reassuring trend is not merely confined to Cambridge, Mass. Businesses and private citizens across the country...

Every teacher has something different to offer, and the exposure to varying points of view is a critical element in the development of tolerance.

And however leisurely Jakes' presentation may seem, each sermon eventually reveals itself as perfectly calibrated and balanced, cohering into an often exquisite extended metaphor...
...second day, we paddled around Dau Be (Head of Calf) Island. (This region is a direction-giver's dream. "Three Peach Beach? Go past the rock that looks like a crocodile, round Duck Island, leave Fighting Cock Rock and Teapot Island on your left and you can't miss it.") Kayaking is hard work, and the limestone seascape is a maze of wrong turns. But for those in need of a rest, the islets are home to plenty of tiny beaches and endless caves, like the recently discovered Tam Cung: three cathedral chambers housing great stalagmites bunched together like organ...
