Hoping to benefit from the deep, dry snow on the north face of Montana's Lone Mountain, America's first new destination ski resort in 20 years plans to open there Thanksgiving weekend.

Gonzalez ’04 chatted up Brooke Shields and her infant child. Shields pointed out her baby’s uncanny lack of facial given expressions — due perhaps to the underdeveloped musculature of her 10-month old face — speculating that “it must be due to the baby botox.” The polite giggle...
