If memory serves--and the thick layer of dust coating 1998's Up, 2001's Reveal and 2004's Around the Sun is a stern warning to let it--these records paled in comparison with R.E.M.'s earlier, essential material but were right on a par with Woody Allen's recent output. Which is to say, there were vestigial hints of artistry but a disturbing lack of purpose and energy. Facing the age-old choice...

Scratched in the entrance hall is a fitting salutation: "Welcome...

...Washington State’s Ebba Jungmark took the event with a 1.89-meter clearance. “This meet really proves that Becky rises to the occasion,” Harvard coach Jason Saretsky said. “She put herself in the position to be in the thick of it at the height of the competition.” Of course, Christensen is no stranger to the NCAAs or being an All-American.

(7 m) thick. The walls guarded a spectacular inner city, whose grand streets ran parallel to the river. Between 1899 and 1917, German archeologists unearthed decorative elements that demonstrate the importance of Nebuchadnezzar's cosmic vision. Along Babylon's main thoroughfare, the Processional Way, there were palaces whose glazed bricks were adorned with...
