...friend with whom I had lately fallen out of contact (and who is a very scholarly athlete) wrote in an e-mail that, among other things, the column was “terrible,” that “no girl wants to date you anymore,” and that “every athlete wants to rip your face off.” The excerpts have been cleaned up so as not to offend The Crimson’s family readership or those who value good spelling...

"I was a student in Pakistan, studying Islam, and came into contact with many people connected with the Taliban," he said. "The people in general have a great love for the Taliban. So I started to read some of the literature of the scholars, the history of Kabul. My heart became attached to that." John said he had been sent to an Arabic-speaking...
