...easy answer," but there are far easier answers than that. One obvious problem with Harvard athletics is the distance from the campus to the athletic area--only the most die-hard fans are willing to walk all the way down across the river in freezing temperatures and rain, especially those students who live in the Quad. If the shuttle ran down there more often on game nights, attendance would undoubtably rise. As it is, the long trek and the frequently bad weather are major deterrents, discouraging fans who would otherwise pack the rink or the stadium...
...worked half as much my second year. I didn't know how to delegate the work to other people," he says. "I used to get up at 5:30 [a.m.] to watch the Weather Channel to make sure it wasn't going to rain." Kanter explains that during his second year, he discovered he could get his employees to monitor the weather and call him if there were problems...
...Elohim City "Grandpa" Millar deplores the entire episode, saying it is another opportunity for the media to besmirch Christian Identity. The settlement has been declared off limits to the press.

...ovens perhaps 40 miles below, the molten rock simmers under the mountain at up to 3600[degrees]F. As the magma cooks the rocky innards of Mount Rainier, it slowly helps turn them into unstable clay. At the same time this internal furnace corrodes the mountain from the inside, rain and melting snow have been softening it up from the outside. The result, in the surprisingly colloquial argot of the geologist, is a mountain gone "rotten." So rotten, in fact, that a mere seismic hiccup is all it would take to unleash an avalanche of mud on the homes below...
...students standing out in the cold. However, I left myself an extra hour, just in case. By the time my sister and I arrived Johnston gate at around 4 p.m., about 20 students were already waiting for the 4:15 shuttle. We waited. And waited. It began to rain. Gradually our group dwindled as students disappeared into the subway tunnels or, if their situation were more pressing, into cabs. Around 5 p.m., my sister and I gave up and hopped on the T which came almost immediately. On the blue line we found ourselves sitting across from another Harvard student...
