...action next Tuesday at Lavietes Pavillion for a 7 p.m. showdown with the Rhode Island Rams. Then the Crimson take to the road for a cross town match-up with Northeastern on Dec. 15th before a clash with the Big East’s Syracuse Orangewomen in the Carrier Dome...
...American flyer named Chris Burnett (Owen Wilson) is down Behind Enemy Lines. The guys back on his aircraft carrier, led by Admiral Reigart (Gene Hackman), naturally want to rescue him. Their opponents do not want that to happen. This is not, perhaps, the most original premise in the history of popular fictions. But wait; it gets a lot better. The setting, posed in a fictitious time frame, is quite clearly the war in the former Yugoslavia; and the Serbians, among whom Burnett has fallen, don't want to take him prisoner. They want to execute him, because his F/A-18 plane...
Meantime, back on the carrier, Reigart is forced by NATO authorities to abort his rescue mission because it might upset a delicate cease-fire. The admiral hesitates; Burnett keeps running for his life. He's no longer the wisecracking rebel we first met, but despair is not part of his lexicon either.

Despite the daunting check-in wait, Owen--who like most discount flyers bought his ticket online--pronounces the experience so far "pretty painless." By comparison, Glasgow-bound Adrian Eve, 27, a marketing executive for aerospace firm BAE Systems, is a veteran of the low-cost skies. He's on the road...
...commander, over the radio. The T-55 fires again. Twenty minutes into the attack, the shelling tempo increases; there is an explosion every couple of seconds. At 3:55 the Alliance troops on the right flank say the Taliban is fleeing, and they get out of an armored personnel carrier that has driven them to within 100 yds. of the Taliban trenches and move up the hill. Their commander radios the Americans to tell the planes to stop bombing the position, since Alliance troops are so close to it. "They are in the post," Bashir radios to Hassan...
