Between 6 and 7 p.m., a highly diverse crowd of more than 400 filled Mass. Ave. between Church and Garden Streets and a line of people extended down to Byerly Hall. Whether they were clad in business suits or blue jeans and regardless of their ethnicity or class, all clutched candles as they gathered in silence to encourage peace...

And if that happens, Thompson realized, then all that will remain of Kilimanjaro's crowning white glory will be whatever fragments he and his colleagues managed to bring back to Ohio State and stash in their Arctic-cold freezer...
