The start was moved from Ashland to Hopkinton in 1924 in order to lengthen the course to the classic marathon distance. And in recent years, the traditional post-marathon beef stew served by the BAA has been replaced by a pre-marathon pasta party sponsored by Ronzoni. But from the beginning, Boston has been immensely popular: the seventh running of the marathon in 1903 attracted 200,000 spectators. This year an estimated 1.5 million will cheer the runners on as they move...

Alarmingly, however, more and more users are setting up dangerous "stove-top" labs to brew a few ounces of methamphetamine for their own needs. In untrained or careless hands, the chemicals are a volatile stew that can explode if spilled onto a hot plate. Officials suspect that's what happened to Kathy James, who has not yet been charged and is now in a burn ward in San Bernardino...
