...swing, teammates have begun to notice a difference.“[Prince’s] swing has been looking really good,” Crimson captain Harry Douglas says. “Even when he’s taking swings off a tee, you can see how quick his bat is. He’ll be a nice addition to the lineup.”“He’s been hitting well,” sophomore pitcher Max Perlman adds. “His swing looks like he’s really going to contribute this year...
...Perlman did have to deal with a few logistical changes when he returned to Cambridge. Now he rides the Quad shuttle instead of rolling out of bed to make the quick walk across the Yard to class.

...Want a quick taste of Indonesia, but find yourself stuck in Jakarta with only an afternoon to spare? To Alun Alun (Town Square) with you, in that case. Located on the third floor of the Grand Indonesia mall, the hip craft store, art gallery and café-restaurant has quickly become the default place to which expats send out-of-town visitors in search of souvenirs. But Indonesians themselves are the real target audience for the rich displays of batiks, paintings, jewelry, ornaments, books...
