It astonishes me that Buddy Teevens' cross country bicycle ride didn't garner more national attention. An active Division I coach pedaling from one side of the continent to the other side seems like a natural story to me, but (apart from the SI.com story before he left) I guess I figured wrong. ...
There's a story in a West Virginia newspaper about Green Alert subscriber Curt Bury '53. Curt is a diehard Dartmouth fan who has made it a point to see every Dartmouth-Yale game since the Revolutionary War. OK, that's an exaggeration. Since the Civil War. ...
