Coming soon to impeccably punctuated playgrounds everywhere. Just finding a kiddie version of Lynne Truss’ New York Times bestseller (yes, they put it on the cover twice) “Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation” was enough to make me spill coffee all over myself with glee. And they’ve even made it child-friendly by replacing the adult version’s homicidal, gun-toting bear with a cuddly, cupid-like archer of a panda. Combining small children’s great love of grammar with their fondness...
This time of year ten years ago, Phillips Brooks House (PBH) modestly collected toys for five child service agencies. Today it’s targeting twice as many agencies—aspiring to collect more than 1,000 toys for needy children in the Cambridge and Boston area.

The gift drive is been an opportunity for Harvard’s employees to give to the community, said Zandra Kambysellis, the PBH department administrator in charge...
Couch potatoes should think twice before running marathons, according to a Harvard researcher who found that under-trained runners who take on the 26.2-mile challenge are putting their hearts at risk.

...Hannibal the Cannibal made his debut in Thomas Harris' 1981 novel Red Dragon and reappeared in the 1988 Silence and the 1999 Hannibal. All three novels were filmed, Red Dragon twice (once under the title Manhunter). Now there's a fourth novel, a prequel to the others - Lecter's life to the age 18. Hannibal Rising has just been published, with all the hoopla and suspense-mongering of a Harry Potter novel: a first printing of 1.5 million, and no advance copies to reviewers. On Feb. 9 there will be a movie version, for which Harris did the screenplay. That...
