...Today. Harvard sophomore Sean Gil finished eighth, matching his personal best by clearing 4.80 meters. Distance-running sophomore Dan Chenoweth followed his Heptagonals title in the 3000-meter by finishing second overall on Saturday with a time of 8:06.64, just two seconds shy of his personal best. The weight-throw event proved to be very productive for Harvard competitors. Though there were no overall winners from the Crimson, many athletes achieved their best college results. Senior thrower Neville Irani achieved a personal best in the weight throw, finishing 11th with 17.65 meters. Sophomore thrower Ablorde Ashigbi topped his previous...

The narrator sneaks away from his friends and family to set traps “with fishhooks and string,” capturing a butterfly to bottle and bury in the yard as he listens to “the beat of its little heart...
...elephants, all of which might otherwise be languishing as street beggars. Often, soliciting snacks from urbanites and tourists is the only way an owner can cover the cost of feeding an animal that in the wild eats up to 550 lb. (250 kg), or around 5% of its body weight, each day. (Foreigners may thrill at the sight of an elephant plodding past high-rises, but a smoggy metropolis is not a natural habitat for creatures unused to cars or open manholes.) Hotel guests who want to sponsor an elephant can volunteer about $1,000 a month for the animal...
