Other highlights include a rise to the middle level by Clarkson, who posted impressive results in their first season in the league. Brown and Colgate will also probably suffer with the Golden Knights rise to the top and solid seasons from Princeton and Yale...
...woefully poor understanding of France's urban morass. The decrepit housing projects now hosting pitched battles are case studies in progressive French good intentions gone awry. Initially constructed in the 1960s to replace the squalid Hoovervilles once populated by imported laborers from African nations, the clusters of high-rise, rent-subsidized housing projects lost their early allure as once-abundant jobs vanished, unemployment rose, and incomes plummeted.

The zoo is tucked among holiday high-rise apartments in the center of town; keep an eye out for the entrance?wide wooden stairs fronted by five flags. Proximity to the animals and scarcity of crowds in such a quiet, lush setting is what makes this zoo so special. Here, there are no food wrappers littering the ground...
