After dropping the third game to Dartmouth, the Crimson looked to finish out the match in the fourth game. Harvard built leads of 7-0 and 17-10 , and every time Dartmouth would attempt to crawl back, the Crimson would slam the door with its defense...
...Killing innocent civilians--or your own men--is a risk that goes with the terrain. A quarter of all explosive rounds turn into duds when they glance off walls and roofs. Helicopters can get tangled in overhead wires and crash. And America's most promising gizmos--robots that can crawl from building to building, miniature drones that can spy around corners, acoustic sensors capable of taking out snipers--are still unproven.

They fall, but Rosa recovers her footing. Genelle stays on the floor and starts to crawl downward. All this happens quickly, but there is time for them to separate.

The overfamiliar scenes of Kennediana crawl by like the Stations of the Cross (J.F.K.'s horse-drawn casket, the inevitable football tossing), and the genre has the awkward burden of forcing climax and resolution on lives that were actually ended in midstory by assassinations...
