Freshman outside hitter Liz Cebron and sophomore teammate Erin Denniston powered a consistent attack for Harvard throughout the whole match. They combined for 24 kills, many of which helped Harvard overcome its pre-game jitters and take the first game...
...Throughout the summer and into the fall, law-enforcement authorities in more than 115 countries had been looking for Frankel. The 6-ft., 135-lb., mousy-haired, bespectacled, bumbling, barred-for-life stockbroker had been transformed by the tabloid press into a sort of postmodern James Bond villain--one part Goldfinger, one part Woody Allen.

A 30-year-old economics professor who was liked on sight by virtually everyone he met, Zhenbing was my interpreter during five weeks of travel throughout China. A born storyteller, he often recalled his childhood in a tiny village northwest of Beijing. Like most Chinese peasants of that era, Zhenbing's parents were too poor to buy coal. Instead, in a climate like Boston's, where winter temperatures often plunged below zero, they burned dried leaves...
