...fed by the energized Lynah crowd, staved off the overwhelming majority of Crimson attempts to even penetrate McKee’s zone. Harvard mustered just 17 shots and, more often than not, had trouble stringing together the necessary passes in the neutral zone, allowing Cornell to keep the puck on Crimson...

Witness back-to-iraq.com, where blogger Christopher Allbritton regularly updates his site with dispatches from Baghdad (until recently when Time, his stringing day job, moved him out). Funded by reader donations that have reached $15,000, Allbritton’s site leaks sarcasm and malice, but nonetheless includes some great insights and on-the-ground reporting. If you want...
