From 1886 to 1930, Manter Hall served as a combination prep and tutoring school. Originally founded on the former site of As You Like It at Mass Ave. and Holyoke Street, the all-boys prep school had boarding facilities on the top floor. In 1927, the school moved to its present location...
...California jamboree, attended by 15,000 people at the site of an old gold mine 90 miles north of Los Angeles, chili heads, as fanciers call themselves, stirred up chile con possum, rabbit, chicken, pork, rattlesnake, ham hocks, jerky and Portuguese sausage. An Arizona chef used fillet of road runner; the Tennessee champion boasted of his raccoon. The Hawaiian contingent made its stock (it said) from a "tired Samoan fighting cock." Californian and Texan experts used some 40 varieties of chili peppers, ranging from the relatively mild Big Jim to a Tahitian product that would blow...
...centuries since its construction began, the secluded Château de Rambouillet, located 33 miles from Paris, has housed a long list of illustrious guests, including Marie Antoinette and Napoleon Bonaparte. This weekend the château will again make history by serving as the site of the world's first postwar summit meeting devoted exclusively to economics.

Some homeowners in the central community have no complaints and even boast about their community. AMREP points out that if a buyer of one of the outlying plots wants to move into town, he can trade for a site in the core community-usually half the size of his original plot. The company also notes that Rio Rancho owners have always had the option to back out within six months of purchase. The catch: a purchaser could buy a Rio Rancho lot while outside of New Mexico, but had to travel to the subdivision to sell his property; the trip...
...paused briefly in a dry, remote region of Tanzania called Laetolil (after the Masai name for a hardy regional flower). The area's volcanic ash yielded fossils of many extinct creatures, but none that were even vaguely human. So the Leakeys continued their work at a more promising site, some 25 miles to the north in neighboring Kenya, called Olduvai Gorge. There they found the remains of hominid creatures that pushed man's lineage back to some 2 million years ago-at least a million years farther into the dark shadows of prehistory than had previously been suspected...
