...downs markers back to Harvard for repair. That gem went for five yards. But, perhaps Murray's most celebrated kick came on a field goal attempt against Penn last week. In three games, he has his on one field goal in five attempts. The one success coming on a sand wedge from 11 yards out against Rutgers. Anyway, let's get back to the Penn game. Scene: Schoellkoph Field, the Big Red set up for a 25-yard field goal attempt, Murray trots confidently onto the Polyturf. There's the snap, the place-down, Murray approaches and "boom."

It is sand flowing through the fingers. If we lose everything, we can start again somewhere else, on another beach." An Asian schoolteacher agreed. "My classes are 95% African," he said. "They are being told to hate the Asians. How can I stand up in front of them in the classroom...

Since Back Bay is all built on land that was reclaimed last century from the Charles River Basin-really a swamp filled with sand and gravel-digging into the unstable soil disrupted nearby areas. Streets and sidewalks rose and fell, sometimes as much as six feet, pinching and twisting telephone, electric and gas lines. Several water mains broke. As a result, the city and local utilities are suing Hancock for some...
