Researchers last week excavated geometrically cut stones from a hill near the town--apparently the building blocks of the first ancient step pyramid ever found in Europe. Archaeologist Semir Osmanagic estimates the pyramid is 722 ft. high--a third taller than Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza--and was built about 12,000 years ago by an unknown civilization.

...failing control in the seventh, then loaded the bases on a walk by Harvard reliever Jake Bruton.But Bruton induced a fly ball to senior Chris Mackey in left to end the seventh, preserving the three-run lead. Sophomore righthander Shawn Haviland, the staff ace, pitched scoreless eighth and ninth innings in relief, substituting live work for his usual midweek bullpen session. “It’s kind of neat; I don’t get to close many games,” Haviland said. “I love being out there in game action...
