...Burrup Peninsula, near Dampier. He's keen to see them again. The pen-insula alone holds some 10,000 known engravings, but the visitors' center is closed for renovations, there are no signposts, and the intrepid Parker, 47, searches his creaky memory in vain. Low, brown boulders and rust-colored piles of super-hard granophyre give no clue to the location of the artistic riches hidden in the scrub beyond the sealed road from Karratha...

In Cincinnati neighborhoods like Over-the-Rhine and the West End, where Jones lives, poor wages coupled with high rates of drug...
...Harvard fencing squad to its best season ever. After that: a repeat of her Junior Worlds glory. It was an improbable ending to a season that started off slowly; despite strong performances in Ivy play, Cross struggled in international competition. “There was a lot of rust there,” Crimson coach Peter Brand says. “But I think she revitalized and she gained some energy throughout the year. As we were moving forward through the season, it looked like she was getting stronger and stronger again.” That?...
