...soccer team this weekend at the Loyola Marymount Invitational. The No. 7 Crimson (6-1-1) lost its opener to the host, Loyola Marymount (2-4), on Friday, before playing to a 1-1 tie with No. 14 UC Santa Barbara (3-2-2) yesterday. A rainstorm that was expected in Los Angeles Friday evening arrived a bit early, pouring down during Harvard’s afternoon match against LMU. The weather made for some sloppy playing conditions that forced the coaches from Harvard and UCSB to move yesterday’s game to the Gacuhos’ home field...
...farmhouse on the mobster's delta property. Ferrie later told the FBI that he was helping Marcello map strategy for a perjury and conspiracy trial then under way. (Marcello was acquitted on the day of the assassination.) On the night of the assassination Ferrie drove 350 miles through a rainstorm to Houston, arriving at about 4 a.m. He later insisted that this was a hunting trip, but he spent hours making calls from public phones at a skating rink...
...White is one of those, driving a now familiar road between a temporary base in Houston and his shattered ancestral home in New Orleans, when the anguish pours out of him like the summer Gulf Coast rainstorm he is navigating.

The smells of the food, the way people sit on the stoop, the looks on the faces of the old people as they tell stories, the eccentricities of the way they dress," White said. "But you smell that smell...
...later drug-resistant bacteria. The study found that of 120 pathways, only ten are feasible. Weinreich has generalized his results to argue that when bacteria independently develop resistance to the same drug, they likely follow similar, if not identical pathways. To visualize this result, picture Harvard Yard during a rainstorm. While a student might take several paths from Thayer to Sever Hall, a majority of these would be muddier than others. Just as most people will walk on the few paved paths between buildings, organisms will only follow a limited number of paths to a particular adaptation. Soon after their...
...documentary material illuminates the way he synthesized his jungles of the mind. The show will travel to the Grand Palais, Paris, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington. Rousseau burst upon the art world in 1891 with Surprised!, the first of his jungle pictures. A tiger in a rainstorm crouches, with bared fangs and flaring whiskers, in a complex pattern of leaves and grass like botanical illustrations come alive. The soaking rain is indicated by subtle transparent streaks. When you recover from the dramatic impact, you can see how the painting has been carefully planned and built up in layers...
