...Lions roared back with a 10-0 run of their own to knot the score at 27. Senior Trisha Suggs, who burned the Crimson with 23 points, 15 rebounds and 8 blocks, nailed a baseline jumper to cap the rally. Columbia took the lead for the last time at 32-31 when forward Charlene Williams completed a three-point play with 2:23 remaining in the half, but Wambach nailed a jumper from just inside the arc to give Harvard a 35-34 lead at intermission...

The visitor ducks around the corner into Preservation Hall, a magnificently funky storefront that looks as if it has been flooded and drained a few times, where a $2 donation lets you stand and listen to some grand old Dixielanders wail the stuffing out of St. James Infirmary and Muskrat Ramble...

In the high altitudes atop the pole's ice cap, the detectors are well above the densest, murkiest layers of atmosphere and can peer through some of the dryest, clearest air on earth to help determine whether the original Big Bang was unique or was followed by smaller ones. A few hundred yards away, close to the enormous geodesic dome...
