It usually works, though I hear that the drivers fleece many foreigners who don’t know the system. William M. Rasmussen ’04, a former Crimson news executive...

The Van der Velden sisters aren't the only identical twins competing in Athens - the U.S.'s tennis team has its own true doubles - but that hardly explains their anonymity in the Netherlands. Their sport comes in several lengths...
...quickly goes on defense, making a point of describing his family as very normal and fun loving. When informed how consistently his friends and siblings described him as a serious kid ("not just serious; very serious," says brother Cameron), Kerry's features head in two directions: his lips smile but his brow knits, and he immediately pushes back. Rather than spin the quality into a virtue for anyone running for President, particularly in these serious times, Kerry makes himself out to be Huck Finn, recounts his childhood larks and prep school shenanigans and love of "vegging out" during college...
