...equalizer would not come, and the team left the field with a 2-1 loss, its second defeat in as many games. The Crimson battled valiantly through most of the first half, keeping pace with the hosts as the teams traded glancing blows at the goal to no avail. Characterized generally as an even half of steadiness with brief occurrences of excitement, the Rams (3-3-3) quickly managed to take the upper hand late in the first.

Shalit's captors are demanding it does so now. Thus far, to no avail. Negotiations through Egyptian mediators are ongoing, says Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, but many obstacles remain. While Baroud, like many parents of Palestinian prisoners, wants Gilad's captors to treat him well, none would advocate that he be freed without getting something in return. For years, Palestinians have tried to call...
