Along with the basics of hygiene and anatomy, students learn the identification and uses of local plants. Meanwhile, spiritualists chant, dance and drum to call down spirits and consult them for cures...

The U.S. made several substitutions at halftime, including Eddie Johnson, who provided a lift...
