Alice Munro spins tales that show us, again and again, and with wondrous grace, how much can be done in a simple short story. Yet the 74-year-old Canadian does it by breaking every rule ever taught in a writing seminar, setting up a master class along the sidelines. Her latest--her 11th--collection of stories, The View from Castle Rock (Knopf; 349 pages), marks a departure from her usual examinations of women in rural Canada leaving home to remake their possibilities by drawing instead on family documents, historical records (from 19th century Scotland) and what feels like memoir...
There are many such men at ADX. The list of Arab inmates reads like a Who's Who of the international jihad. Apart from the bombers already mentioned, there are, among others, Zacarias Moussaoui, the sole individual convicted of involvement in the 9/11 attacks; Ahmed Ressam, arrested at the Canadian border with explosives he had planned to use to bomb the Los Angeles International Airport; and Abdul Hakim Murad, convicted in Operation Bojinka, a 1995 al-Qaeda scheme to blow 12 planes, 11 of them U.S.-bound, out of the sky during a 48-hour period...
...charged with minding net for the sixth-ranked Crimson with only junior walk-on Kristin Toretta on the bench as insurance. Freshman Christina Kessler was supposed to enter the program and challenge Martin for the starting job vacated by graduate Ali Boe ’06.

...Golden Knights, while not among the country’s 10 ranked teams, received the 11th-most votes in the latest ranking poll. Tomorrow, the Crimson will play No. 5 St. Lawrence (7-1-0, 3-1-0). Another question that will be answered this weekend is whether 2006 Canadian Olympian Sarah Vaillancourt can keep up her sparkling play against stronger opponents. Vaillancourt has racked up seven goals in two victories over RPI and Union—but the upcoming games are unlikely to be similar routs. With Clarkson and St. Lawrence eagerly seeking revenge on Harvard, rematches scheduled again...
Three years ago, Nicole Corriero ’05 had 16 points in a two-game set against Union to open the season. Two years ago, she broke the NCAA record for goals in a season. This past weekend, sophomore Sarah Vaillancourt—a Canadian forward like Corriero before her—registered seven goals and 13 points over the course of two games against RPI and Union. Who knows what records may lay in her future, but she can sure rack up the statistics. “She’s so good it’s scary...
