...alternative to the traditional church and steeple thing, the Quaker Friends Meeting (5 Longfellow Park, off of Brattle St., 5 blocks west of Harvard Square; 876-6883; Wednesday 8:30 a.m and Sunday at 10:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.) offers new ways to explore spirituality.

Only a handful of students showed up to watch Saturday home games.

It's a risky move for the industry, what with low grain prices, inflation nonexistent and cereal selling for about $2.85 a box. In the past few years, consumers and investors have punished Kellogg for raising prices; it reported a 30% slide in earnings last week, and its CEO was eased out this year for the poor performance...
