...same time, so the race start must be staggered. And weather and course conditions are always unpredictable - as they are for all Antarctic expeditions. One year, in fact, the weather was so poor that runners didn't even get to the start line: The sea was too rough to allow a landing. They raced on the ship that had carried them south to Antarctica instead, running hundreds of laps on deck. But that's all part of Antarctica's appeal, says Gilligan, eyes gleaming. "I like the challenge, the unknown," he says. "It's certainly not boring...

But with the game’s outcome in the balance, Cornell...

They're well aware that President Bush's numbers are terrible--and that Al Gore got an Academy Award. Yet my fellow conservatives and Republicans are pretty upbeat. After a rough 2006, conservative magazines are seeing an uptick in subscription renewals, right-wing websites are getting more hits, and Republican and conservative groups here at Harvard (yes, Harvard!) seem invigorated. What's going on? Here are five reasons conservatives and Republicans might have some cause for their cheer...
