...injured since February. Not all the violence has been between the warring religious camps. To enforce discipline within their ranks, paramilitary organizations of both sides have "kneecapped" some 90 men -shooting them through the knee or, in one recent ghastly episode, by subjecting them to a "Black & Decker drill...
Trying to outcoach the late Vince Lombardi, the high school football coach drove his young players unmercifully, seemingly oblivious of the temperature that a hot, late-August sun had pushed over the 90° mark. Finally, he ordered them to top off their preseason drill with a quick run around the field.
