But last weekend, the lingering questions were answered. The Black and White were back at the NCAAs, racing against the best twelve crews in the nation. At the championships, the team raced well but finished near the bottom of the best, as no squad reached a Grand Final.

But the convoy was struck by several mortar rounds while unloading its emergency provisions. Although none of the crew were harmed, three vehicles were damaged and had to be abandoned. The U.N. said it was unsure whether the mortar fire was from the Lebanese army ringing the camp or from the Fatah al-Islam militants holed up inside. But the drivers of the trucks said they were sure...
