...Harvard track and field team looked to capitalize on the practice available from two out-of-town meets this weekend with the NYU Metro Coaches Invitational on Friday and the Dartmouth Relays in Hanover, N.H yesterday. Snow ultimately kept the team from competing in the latter event, but the Crimson offered some impressive results from the New York meet. “With finals coming up, we wanted to look for some meets that were in close proximity,” Harvard coach Jason Saretsky said. “I wanted to get the middle runners on the track...
...dizzy racontress on Jack Paar's late-night couch. Les Crane, 74, filled ABC's 11:30 slot against Johnny Carson with an issues show, contentiously thrusting his boom mike into the audience. Four decades later, the folksier Tony Snow, 53, hosted a Fox show as an out-of-town tryout for his job as White House Press Secretary. Jack Narz, 85, hosted the "fixed" game show Dotto; got rehabilitated and hosted Concentration.

Obviously reporters are always looking for stories with some tension and some narrative movement. I often found myself in places where one part of society was rubbing up against...
It’s the fourth game in the ACS baseball series. A Tuesday night crowd watching the Red Sox get crushed by Tampa Bay (sans enthusiasm) certainly doesn’t qualify as an unusual night in the Kirkland House grille. But this particular game attracted some out-of-town spectators, turning the grille and the game into a petri dish of strange interactions. The visitors, who have come to Cambridge all the way from Japan, are not particularly interested in the ball game. Instead, they focus their attention on the student viewers. No, they are not psychologists studying...
