...bring two zebras to the Square a couple of months ago. (The group came to believe later that this ill-fated scheme somehow entitled them to opinine on the Undergraduate Council elections.) Some commented that the zebras were being gathered as part of an effort to build an arc for the second coming of Noah’s flood. But being the dedicated researchers we are, we noticed it has only rained about three and a half inches over the last month. Thus, no flood is coming, or God just doesn’t have his A-game anymore...
State of War doesn't follow a clear narrative arc. The action kick-starts midway through the first chapter, in March 2002: days after the arrest of Abu Zubaydah, at the time the highest-ranking al-Qaeda operative in U.S. custody, Bush summoned CIA director George Tenet to the White House to ask what intelligence Abu Zubaydah had provided his captors. According to Risen's source, Tenet told Bush that Abu Zubaydah, badly wounded during his capture, was too groggy from painkillers to talk coherently.

...fought points against a bruising SMU frontcourt and Stehle earned six of his team-high nine rebounds on the offensive end. But Harvard could never quite match SMU’s speed and athleticism, a mismatch compounded by the Crimson’s inability to hit from beyond the arc.

Co-captain Maureen McCaffery and senior Laura Robinson both notched six points in the same span. The way Harvard played in the first five minutes did not turn out to be a real indicator of how the game would go.“We stopped moving and got a little bit stagnant for a while,” said...
...open the second frame. The Red Foxes capitalized on four Crimson turnovers in the first five minutes of the second half and held Harvard to just two field goals. The Crimson shot only 17-of-54 from the field on the night and shot 13 percent from beyond the arc. Marist was hardly better—the Red Foxes went an abysmal 29.1 percent from the floor and 42.9 percent from the line. “In a game that is such a battle and is such a close, low-scoring game, a run of even a couple of baskets...
