The forest near it has long served as a dumping ground for old auto parts, battered furniture, cans and bottles. On March 31 a hiker hunting for mushrooms stumbled upon a human skull.

With that event so recent, it should not have come as that big a surprise when this year in New Haven, after another win, spectators again climbed the posts, bringing them down on a Harvard freshman and injuring her critically...
