Suddenly it is fall in New Hampshire. Here, Ginny, I know, is where you loved to hike and climb mountains with your family. I think of you as I walk through a sports store in Concord, for above the displays of kayaks and cross-country skiing equipment a television plays a film of rock climbers - hands and muscles stretching for holds, sun arcing over camera, a sky of infinite blue.
Two of my best friends had birthdays last weekend. To commemorate their survival into adulthood, and their newfound dipsomaniacal legality, we headed out for a night of bars in Harvard Square. First stop on our slightly ironic alcoholic celebration was Shilla for dinner and bombs.

The loss to the Blue marks a drastic shift in Wellesley-Tufts tradition, as the Jumbos had won the teams' last five meeting, never letting Wellesley get closer than 8-1. The 5-2 (3-1 NESCAC) Jumbos have their final dual match of the season Saturday at Trinity.
I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous -- everyone hasn't met me yet -- Rodney Dangerfield
College students at Tufts and other schools in the Boston area drive drunk fairly often. I have not only seen it taking place, but have been guilty of it myself. Sorry. I know that drunk driving is irresponsible and that I'm a bastard for doing it, but to be completely honest, sometimes I feel like I've been pushed into it.

The Lucky Star bus line, which runs a similar route, has already been charging $15 for some time. Fung Wah representatives told The Harvard Crimson that financial pressures due to competition between Lucky Star and the larger Greyhound Bus Lines led to the rise in prices. The nickname "Chinatown bus" is now a misnomer, since the route's Boston hub relocated from Beach St. in Chinatown to the more trafficked South Station at the end of August. The company owns about 20 buses which run on hourly intervals. According to The Boston Herald, Greyhound recently sued the company because its charter permits did not allow for these hourly trips. The Boston judge allowed the buses to continue running upon presentation of proper permits. Fung Wah has been fined over $11,000 by the City of Boston since 1998 for running the service from a sidewalk without any ticket booth or terminal, according to Architectures and Business Innovations, Inc.Somerville addresses increase in break-ins Somerville police recently reported an increase in breaking-and-enterings since June.

A meeting will be held tonight as part of an effort to involve community members in increased action and awareness. Curtatone, Somerville Police Department (SPD) Chief George McLean and Alderman Maryann Heuston will be holding the meeting at the SPD station at 7 p.m.

For over a year, many of America's young people have heard the same thing through conversations in high school corridors or college quadrangles. Students have read the same scare-mongering chain e-mails, or heard it blaring through the megaphones of activists. To attract viewers and readers, media outlets always pose the same question: Is the United States going to reinstate the military draft? It is said that the draft possibility is the central issue concerning the 18-26 demographic. But what if the biggest issue among this electorate is not an issue at all?
Suspicions have been proven correct. Iraq did not have any weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) when the U.S. and allies invaded in March 2003, nor did it have the capability to produce WMDs, according to the Iraq Survey Report released yesterday. The report was sanctioned by the CIA and was presented to the Senate by the author, Charles A. Duelfer.
