More Protests. The takeover was a continuation of protests that have roiled the Rhode Island campus since February, when President Donald Hornig announced that Brown was faced with a $4 million deficit and would have to cut back on student aid, educational programs and faculty. Dismayed by attempts at "coercion, when everything is so eminently discussible," Hornig remained adamant about the budget cuts...
Playing at the Agawam Country Club in Providence, Rhode Island, the Crimson linksmen scored an 11-stroke victory over Brown and a 23-stroke victory over Boston College...
...like the words of Ford's speeches, the path of this patriotic parade will undergo little alteration, passing the same Howard Johnsons, the same laundromats, the same Golden Arches, the same car washes and supermarkets and bowling alleys.

Echoes of the shot heard round the world will become lost in the tumult of cats speeding by as housewives do their week's shopping and couples go to the movies...
Every year about 350,000 acres of farm land on the fringes of America's suburbs-an area roughly half the size of Rhode Island-are taken out of crops and put into buildings. Though the loss may seem insignificant in a nation with 470 million acres of cropland, there is a hitch. Much of the lost acreage is top-quality farm land, rich soil that the U.S. should keep as a major resource. But to save such land for farming has been almost impossible. Buying it outright is too expensive. Zoning it for agricultural use only can often...

Now, after studying cylindrical-core samples of ocean sediment dug up by the deep-sea drilling ship Glomar Challenger, two University of Rhode Island researchers have found evidence that may help provide the answer. The telltale position of layers of volcanic ash found in the cores by Geologists James Kennett and Robert Thunell suggests that the first great ice age could have been set off by a worldwide series of volcanic eruptions...
