...fans seemed even more enthused about the win, and proceeded to celebrate the Crimson’s 6-2 win over the Bears (6-6) by jumping into the pool—fully clothed. The victory propelled Harvard (7-7) into second in the Northern Division...
...Most experts are dubious, but that hasn't stopped Vladimir Keilis-Borok from trying. And for a while the mathematical geophysicist, 83, seemed to be on a roll. In September 2003, within a time frame Keilis-Borok and colleagues had stipulated in advance, a pair of powerful earthquakes struck northern Japan, setting off tsunamis and injuring several hundred people. In December, another anticipated temblor rattled central California, killing two and damaging dozens of buildings. Then, in July, yet another quake, near the border of Austria, Italy and Slovenia, came close to fulfilling a third prediction (though there is good reason...
Like any number of vacationing parents, Gary Hirshberg was dismayed to find nothing but fast food as he drove up the Northern California coast with his wife and three young kids several summers ago.

...General Abdul Rashid Dostum. A former communist general known to have ordered enemy captives crushed under a Russian tank, Dostum, 49, is trying to transform himself from warlord into smiling presidential candidate. That's going to take some finesse, given that he strikes fear in many Afghans in his northern stronghold of Shebarghan. Dostum's idea of campaigning is to sit on a thronelike chair in his rose garden and scowl at a line of deferential tribal elders, officials and militia commanders who will be expected to deliver votes from among the Uzbeks. Those who don't obey suffer--such...
