...ninth when Stack-Babich led off with a hard-hit single to right center and advanced to second on an error by the Holy Cross centerfielder. But the Crimson quickly racked up two outs on a pop-up and a strikeout, and after Stack-Babich reached third on a wild pitch and sophomore Dillon O’Neill walked, Meehan flew out harmlessly to right to end the game.“It was not a pretty game on either side,” Harvard captain Harry Douglas said. “The games like that you gotta do what...
...Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. with a group of New Jersey-based musicians and friends who would later become The E-Street Band (named after a street in Belmar, New Jersey). The album, while critically acclaimed, sold only 25,000 copies in its first year; his second album The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle gained more traction and sold more than 150,000 copies by 1974. Springsteen's breakout didn't occur until his ambitious third album, 1975's Born to Run. (See pictures of Bruce backstage...

As we head into the current, a few younger Nishi gather on a bamboo suspension bridge above us, snapping photos on cell phones pulled from their monkey-fur pouches; in our wetsuits and helmets we are just as much an oddity to the Nishi as they...
...hornbill glides by, its wings sounding like flapping canvas. Romulus finds plenty of leopard footprints in the sand around our camps, but no sign of the owners or the pit vipers. One night, we try to keep a sentry fire burning all night in the rain to scare off wild elephants. The fire gutters out, but luckily the elephants have better things to do than crush us like bugs as we sleep...
