For one day, the normally clogged, smog-filled, traffic jammed, steep streets of La Paz, Bolivia were free of cars.
Tuned out
Normally, I stop when I hear the chorus of car engines rapidly approaching Commonwealth Avenue, but not today.

Correction
In an news story Friday (‘BU officials talk SCOE,’ Jan. 30, p. 1), it was implied that Boston University spokesman Colin Riley said the director and staff of the Sargent Center for Outdoor Education were involved in the decision to shut down the center due to an editing error. Metropolitan College Dean Jay Halfond and his staff were involved in the decision instead.
