Several recent studies, including a new one from the Scripps Research Institute, show that THC, the chemical in marijuana responsible for the high, can help slow the progress of Alzheimer's disease. (In fact, it seems to block the formation of disease-causing plaques better than several mainstream drugs.)

...Harvard could not match the Bobcats’ late offensive explosion, as Quinnipiac fired 14 shots and scored three goals in the final period. The loss to the Bobcats marked the ninth game in a row without a victory for the Crimson. “We started off really slow last year with almost the same record, but we came together as a team,” Biega said. “We’re taking the appropriate steps forward to make us a winning team again.” —Staff writer Lucy D.
