...Box” is the segment that is both most affecting and hardest to describe. The story, in its bare outline, is that a novelist accidentally killed her twin sister in a horrific way when they were young circus performers.

Elements of her dream spill over into her life, and her sister starts appearing to her—or is just a manifestation of a guilty conscience...
...first half, Harvard answered quickly, bringing the ball downfield. Senior Anthony Tornaritis nearly scored when his hard shot bounced off the shoulder of a Princeton defender and ricocheted just wide of the post. Just minutes into the second half, Tornaritis got a second chance after his twin brother Nicholas brought the ball down the field in a breakaway and crossed to sophomore Jeremy Tchou, who assisted Tornaritis for the first goal of the game. “When the second half started, we knew we had to pick up the intensity,” Tornaritis said...

For their part, the Jews of Hebron this time were careful not to give public praise. But they have a monument that to the Arabs speaks louder than words: a shrine outside Hebron erected...
...could have been the best of both worlds. One Berry would throw the ball, the other would catch it, and a legion of Harvard football fans would fall in love with the level-headed twins from Bel Air, Md. This situation almost became a reality, but while rookie wide receiver Adam Berry chose the Crimson’s Saturday’s opponent, Princeton, and his twin brother, freshman cornerback Andrew Berry, decided to come to Harvard, the Crimson is more than happy with its Berry—even if he hasn’t landed exactly where originally expected...
