After an emotional win Wednesday over Dartmouth to clinch its second consecutive Ivy League title, the Harvard women's tennis team (11-11, 6-0 Ivy) felt the heat Saturday afternoon, losing to cross-town rival Boston University (15-9), 5-1, at the Case Center courts...
Sure it can. It can even happen in Littleton, a town of 35,000 near the dusty-tan foothills of the Rockies, just southwest of Denver. It was once a small prairie town of gold rushers and traders, where the biggest scare was getting hit by a prairie dog. Now it's a stretched finger of the big city, with aspiring families who don't lock their doors, enclaves with names like Coventry and Raccoon Creek and Bel Flower, scrubland turned into golf courses, houses than run anywhere from $75,000 to $5 million or so. There's an arch...
...recipes, those are even easier to find for a kid with that much cyberskill. Harris' personal website, since taken down by AOL, detailed advice on building pipe bombs.

"You can photograph me," he tells a reporter genially, "but not reclining on a bearskin rug and smoking a joint...
...possible statewide model. Although other communities might be less mellow about the idea, no dissenters showed up at public hearings when Arcata's city council--composed of two Green Party members, a Libertarian and two Democrats--approved Brown's ID system. That's to be expected, perhaps, in a town that has declared itself a "Nuclear Weapons Free Zone"; that in 1991 passed a resolution--albeit quickly rescinded--offering sanctuary to Persian Gulf War resisters; and where students from Humboldt State University hold an annual Hempfest, promoting a nonpsychoactive form of cannabis for use in clothing, paper and food...
