...Springfield students, clustering around the squat, gray-green high school building, look back, the signs seem all too clear. For his middle school yearbook, Kinkel was jokingly voted "most likely to start World War III." "He was really open about making bombs," confides T.J. Harty, 13. "Once he showed me a pipe bomb with a white fuse and said, 'I'm going to blow something up.'" Kip would brag about cutting up cats and squirrels and even claimed to have blown up a cow. Like many local teenagers, he hunted deer, with a rifle his father gave him last year...
...wait until Junior Parents Weekend to discover the Fogg Art Museum! This squat neoclassical building is truly one of the treasures of Harvard's campus, boasting a surprisingly superb and broad collection of paintings and sculpture. The exhibits are self-contained and easily manageable in an afternoon, so there's no need to wade through acres of Post-Impressionist gaffes before you find a masterpiece. Particularly noteworthy are the installations of abstract art, German expressionism and the Impressionists, the latter containing an absolutely terrific Van Gogh self-portrait. Plus, it's all FREE with your Harvard I.D. FREE! That...
First came the motorcycle outriders, then jeeps, trucks and buses crammed with grim, steel-helmeted East German troops. Rattling in their wake were the tanks--squat Russian-built T-34s and T-54s.

As the troops arrived at scores of border points, cargo trucks were already unloading rolls of barbed wire, concrete posts, wooden horses, stone blocks, picks...
...little to celebrate. He's on death row at Louisiana State Prison at Angola, a former plantation turned high-security prison that was made infamous by the movie Dead Man Walking. Cousin's cell is small and stark, with cement floors, a metal sleeping bunk and a squat, steel toilet. He is locked in his cell 23 hours a day, with a one-hour break to exercise or use the telephone. Meals are pushed through a slot in the door: breakfast at 5:30 a.m., lunch at 10:30 a.m., dinner at 3:30 p.m. The air is usually heavy...
...eager to learn where the two American institutions meet up. So I show up at the MAC's third-floor Rec. Room early for my Friday afternoon appointment, just as the club's introductory meeting is letting out and a practice is starting up. Rawson, a squat, bald man is standing in a corner, instructing one of his boxers. Wearing a collared shirt and ancient plaid pants, he seems to have forgotten how men his age are supposed to act: he throws a jab at the young boxer from time to time and he's bouncing on the balls...
