...discussion of Allston in the letter jived with a lengthy section on Summers’ plans for expanding the University’s resources in the life sciences, many of which will find their roots across the Charles River...
...Asian collection, you come face to face with a lazily floating false gavial, a narrow-snouted crocodile-like reptile. A "second-growth forest" houses flying foxes; these huge bats, which can have wingspans of up to 1.8 m, hang directly above your head. The lemur habitat, in the Madagascar section, is accessed through the gnarled trunk of a replica baobab tree. And in the Equatorial Africa area, you can watch chimps and gorillas monkey around at close range. Fuengirola Zoo specializes in captive breeding for endangered species, chimpanzee-group research and tropical-forest education. And in summer, it opens...

Tobe had been drawn out of position, sliding to cover a shot from the left circle. The puck sailed wide, bouncing off the boards behind the goal and out to Quinnipiac’s David Marshall...
Like many such stories, Tricked takes place in a city - though unnamed, it resembles L.A. - allowing it to naturally mix a cross-section of classes and ethnicities. Made up of short, numbered chapters that count down, like a bomb, rather than up, each focuses on one of the book's six major characters, then repeats the cycle. Each set begins with Ray Beam, a burnt-out pop star of ten years ago whose descent from debauched musical godling to weird, unproductive recluse resembles that of Axl Rose. He suddenly seems to find his muse in Lily, a young Hispanic-American...
