...days of preparation for Resurrection—the zenith of faith. While in church, I witnessed an eclectic parade of coordinated bodies in procession toward the altar, where the priest marked each person’s forehead with a cross of ashes. By acknowledging every human’s origin and end in ashes and dust, we are moved toward more than a month of fasting and spiritual growth. In the spirit of ecumenism, similar practices are common to different religions and ways of life: Islamic Ramadan, Jewish Yom Kippur, classical Greek Stoicism, Buddhist bodhisattva practices, and the list goes...

The concept, while undoubtedly gimmicky, is far from innovative; suburban nerds with Nintendos and guitars have been combining their twin passions even before the anthemic "F-Zero" theme...
Through e-mails, Hegarty asked residents of McKinlock Hall—commonly known as Old Leverett—to refrain from using sinks, showers, and toilets until after 2:30 p.m., while workers attempted to keep damage to a minimum and identify the origin of the flooding...
