...tennis. The [opponent] was firing bullets and Sasha just stayed in there toe to toe with him.”In that semifinal match—Ermakov’s second three-setter on a day in which he also played a lengthy doubles pro-set—he beat Columbia sophomore Jon Wong by a score of 6-4, 4-6, 6-1. Even before beating Crimson co-captain Dan Nguyen in three sets in the quarterfinal, Wong was a thorn in Harvard’s side. Last year he defeated then co-captain Scott Denenbergy...

...rambling and hyperbolic Lt. Col. Mohammad doesn't hold back. The chief of the Iraqi Police in Saha says that CLC members beat, arrested and killed a group of men last month. "We know that some of the CLC guys were criminals. But now we will include them in the Iraqi security forces." As much as he complains about the CLC, Mohammad reserves his biggest criticisms for the National Police (not to be confused with Saha's own Iraqi police), with their paramilitary ethos and long history of pulling Sunni families from their cars or homes and shooting them execution...
