...called “one of the best matches we’ve ever played together” en route to a solid 8-6 victory. In the next round, Kumar and Ermakov lost to a very strong team from Mississippi, 8-4. That duo, Erling Tveit and Jonas Berg, who are ranked No. 20 , made it to the tournament’s championship match before losing to the top-ranked squad from Virginia. Kumar and Ermakov’s ability to prevail over some of the country’s strongest doubles pairs bodes well for their prospects...
...Kingdom is written by Matthew Michael Carnahan and directed by Peter Berg (who has a tiny role here, and a bigger one in a more sober War on Terror movie, the forthcoming Lions for Lambs, also written by Carnahan). The movie's guiding force is producer Michael Mann, who made the small- and big-screen versions of Miami Vice. The Mann style is everywhere evident: in the prowling camera and elliptical editing, the pile-driving music (a surprisingly formulaic score by Denny Elfman), the gigantic, pore-probing closeups of the actors' faces, the vigorous ersatz-realism.

That should give The Kingdom mass-audience appeal as a retro-fantasy of American grit and smarts, culminating in politico-military triumph. Who needs a stalled, baffled, exhausted Army when our four globetrotting, gun-toting crime-solvers can be sent to the scene to sleuth out and wipe out the bad guys...
When terrorists kill hundreds of Americans in a Saudi Arabian compound, an lite team of fbi agents led by Jamie Foxx flies in to collar the perps. Director Peter Berg cannily hypes the tension and the sentiment in the only one of the current Middle East political movies designed to appeal to the action crowd. Hard truths are absorbed while stuff blows...
Bagdis is the only returning senior to a defensive line that led all of Division I-AA in sacks and tackles for a loss last year. He’ll be integral to a front that lost All-Ivy tackle Mike Berg ’07 to graduation, while a pair of defensive ends—brothers Brenton and Desmond Bryant—were both forced to take the year off for academic reasons. Sophomore Chuks Obi and juniors Sonny McCracken and Matt Curtis join Bagdis on the only defensive unit that starts a sophomore...
