...They gave us everything we could handle,” Penn coach Fran Dunphy said. “I thought [Begley] took over the game on the offensive end, which we needed...
...argue that Lévy has failed to do the mental work of constructing and defending philosophical systems the way earlier titans like Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault and Jean-Paul Sartre did. "Previous generations of French intellectuals justified their entire careers on their conceptual work," says philosopher François Cusset, author of French Theory.

"It's the little things that often get overlooked and are hardest to find," he says. The group has relied on satellite phones for most of its communications, but even they have been less than reliable. "This is why we have to be as organized as possible," says Belgian Alexis Moens, the field coordinator. "You have to put up a structure that is strong enough on both the medical and logistical sides.
