...seven weeks off from conditioning and training during the off-season. Clearly, this seven-week period was the perfect length in which to try to experience the “Harvard” I had missed. After all, if the men’s hockey team was going to forgo ice time and a chance to keep in shape during the off-season so they could all try to join Hasty Pudding Theatricals, then surely I could immerse myself in a new activity for seven weeks...

Brought to France when he was only months old by his Algerian-born parents, Mesbah has spent his entire life in Toulouse. A bout of adolescent rebelliousness made him forgo the French citizenship his eight siblings obtained, something he must now regret. The 1994 shooting of his younger sister scarred Mesbah, affidavits from psychologists note, and contributed to his subsequent abuse of alcohol and reliance on petty crime. His conviction for attempted murder stems from a 1995 altercation with nightclub...
