As summer heads into August, the number of Appalachian Trail through-hikers passing through Hanover has begun to increase markedly. Hanover is one of the last "civilized" stops on the way to Maine's Mount Katahdin, the end-point of the Trail. Bad weather may have delayed some hikers, but, since Katahdin closes in mid-October, hikers are gearing up for the final trek. According to Laura Dukeshire, administrative assistant for Outdoor Programs, between three and eight through-hikers come through the Dartmouth Outing Club office each day. Through-hikers can resupply, check their mail, use the internet and repair equipment in town before beginning the final 422 miles before Katahdin.

As if watching one's team make a quick exit from the World Cup isn't depressing enough, it may be investors, rather than fans, who bear the brunt of the damage, according to a study by Professors Diego Garcia of the Tuck School of Business, Alex Edmans of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Oyvind Norli of the Norwegian School of Management. In the study, to be published in this month's Journal of Finance, Garcia and Edmans sifted through 30 years of macroeconomic data to determine that losses during the pool play portion of the World Cup cause a 0.38 percent drop in the losing team's national stock exchange. The losses go up to 0.49 percent during the elimination portion of the tournament. During the period from the U.S. team's first game to its exit (June 12 to June 22), The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 2.1 percent, from 10,792.58 to 11,019.11.

College students' reputation for idealism enjoys a mixed record. Many "adults" respect the passion with which college students pursue their political and social goals, while ridiculing the fanciful and unattainable nature of those goals. It's a difficult position. College students have the fervor and the passion to change the world, but lack the resources to do so. From a small town in rural New Hampshire, what can we do to make the world a better place?

On "Meet the Press," he said that the ouster of Saddam Hussein did nothing to improve the situation of the Iraqi people or American security. In April, shortly after Saddam's fall, he observed, "We've gotten rid of him, and I guess that's a good thing." Yet earlier, on Face the Nation, he said "there is no question that Saddam Hussein is a threat to the United States."
