...wakeup call. Both teams rained down shots on each other, trading jumpers and lead changes in the final minutes. With just 54 seconds left, Princeton guard Addie Micir hit a trey to tie the game at 50. The next trip up the floor, Berry dished to Markley, who absorbed contact and finished with a strong layup. Lavietes erupted—hope had become reality, and victory was in the air. With under 30 seconds to go, Princeton squandered its last chance when guard Jessica Berry missed a crucial jumper.

Beijing treats Taiwan as a runaway province and has blocked the democratic Taipei government from receiving diplomatic recognition or participating in many international forums. Both sides armed the Taiwan Strait to the teeth, turning it into one of Asia's most dangerous military flash points. Contact between them has been grossly restricted. A year ago, Taiwan residents couldn't take a scheduled flight or mail a letter directly to the mainland, and Taiwan-made goods had to be trans-shipped through Hong Kong and Japan...
