...Guards taking pieces of my porcelain collection out of their padded boxes. One young man had arranged a set of four Kangxi wine cups in a row on the floor and was stepping on them. I was just in time to hear the crunch of delicate porcelain under the sole of his shoe. The sound pierced my heart. Impulsively I leapt forward...
...Crimson is now alone in second place.No. 6 Harvard (17-4-2, 14-3-1 ECAC) took over sole possession of runner-up position in the ECAC this weekend by taking care of business in two easy road victories against Union and RPI. “In our position right now,” co-captain Jennifer Sifers said, “we don’t get the chance to play anyone above us in the rankings.

...team effort dried up almost immediately. Harvard was outscored 75-54 the rest of the way, with its matador-like defense allowing Yale to shoot 62 percent in the first half and 58 percent on the game.

And while they have examined whether sheep sexuality can be altered with various treatments, that's not the sole point of their work.

(Such experiments were done on zebra finches--to see if females would pair with other females--as long ago as 1988.) A colleague of Roselli's, Fredrick Stormshak of Oregon State, says...
...burned to the ground. Partly caused by a faulty gas line, the inferno spared little?"there were twisted metal things for the fridge and the gas stove," Hall recalls, "but other than that there was just nothing, just ash." While the eldest of his three daughters, the house's sole occupant at the time, escaped, part of Australia's literary heritage was not so lucky. Gone were many of Hall's slavishly hand-written manuscripts and letters, including his lifelong correspondence with English writer Robert Graves. Fire couldn't erase Hall's favorite memories of the place, including a visit...
