...helicopters barely touched the ground at the edge of Qubah long enough for 241 soldiers to leap out and begin moving into the town to go house to house in search of insurgents as artillery fire shattered trees in the surrounding palm groves. At the same time, a convoy of 19 Humvees, two Bradley tanks and several other vehicles rumbled toward Qubah from the opposite end. Gunfights broke out as soon as U.S. troops from the air assault reached Qubah's ruddy streets, with insurgents letting machine guns loose from several buildings. One U.S. soldier took a burst of fire...

Work will begin on the new facility—slated to be completed in 2011—this summer. The Everett Street parking garage, a structure Kagan has called one of the biggest eye sores on the Law School’s campus, will be destroyed.

...form that carried it through four consecutive Ivy League seasons. The team’s spring break trip to California—featuring homecomings for both the team’s coach and captain—will provide a final opportunity to get on track before the games really begin to count. With three matches against unranked teams, every West Coast bout is eminently winnable for the Crimson. None of the teams share any common opponents with the Harvard to provide a clue as to how the teams will match up. All three teams, however, have been playing outdoors...

...first chance at redemption. Having failed to win an IRA national championship over the past ten years, defeats such as the ones incurred at the hands of the Hoyas and Wisconsin last year are striking setbacks. But these challenges motivate the squad, and, with the spring season about to begin, the team is ready. Although the crew which faces Georgetown next Saturday will look very different, as captains Sarah Bates ’06 and Ashley Antony ’06 have departed, the crew will still have the same drive to succeed—and the talent...
