...followed over the years is the plight of the country's refugees, who escape by the thousands to neighboring China, hoping desperately for a better life, and for a chance to get into South Korea. Only a very lucky few do. At safe houses run by Christian missionaries in northeastern China, in refugee camps in Thailand and in the jungles of Vietnam and Laos, I have heard tales of bloodcurdling anguish - stories that defy belief, except that there's simply no way in hell these people could be making them up. A young woman who became pregnant in China...
...Sophomore Stephen Chester finished the 3K in 9:00.47 to seal a fifth-place bid.

After opening 2008 with a 1-4-1 record, the Crimson has come to life in February, starting with a first-round Beanpot Tournament victory against No. 14 Northeastern and culminating in an impressive performance last week. The Crimson pushed No. 7 Boston College to the brink in the Beanpot Championship Game, Harvard’s first trip to the finals since 1998. Despite the disappointment of the 6-5 overtime loss, rebounded to defeat two ranked opponents over the weekend...

This is low—25% of Northeastern students, 27% of UMass students, 24% of Emerson students, and 22% of BU students are listed as “in a relationship.” So why are our area counterparts coupling up at rates almost twice ours...
