Cassidy grew up playing army games with cousins and re-creating Civil War battles on a Ping-Pong table covered with fake grass and tiny trees in the basement of his Carmel, Ind., home. He joined the Army Reserve in 1992, and the Indiana National Guard in 2003, intending to serve 20 years, get a pension and then retire to teach junior-high history. He served in Bosnia in 2004. And in April 2006, when the Army called, Cassidy left his landscaping job for Iraq. "Some guys had gone to Iraq three times at that point, and he hadn...
...handshakes to chest bumps, and then settled in for the final seconds of the wild ride that had turned 50 or so normally well-mannered and eloquent members of the Harvard community in attendance into a raving pack of grunting and shouting Neanderthals.

They also gave last year’s Hay Division champion, NJIT, a run for their money in a 3-2 loss on Wednesday night...
...exploits the sickness it supposedly condemns. The killer's notion is to kidnap someone, truss him up in a basement in front of a video camera, and post the torture on his Internet site. The more people who log on to watch the agony, the more the victim is tortured, unto death. This allows the perp to think he's not the one killing his victims; it's the viewers, those sick voyeurs glued to their screens. They are voting for the victim's painful death simply by watching, in a sort of American Idol for sadists. The site...
