...team that can control their emotions and stayed disciplined and stick to their gameplan will most likely be victorious,” MacDonald said. The closest individual match-up arguably occurs between the two men standing at opposite ends of the ice: sophomore goalie Kyle Richter and Cornell net-minder Ben Scrivens. Boasting the No. 1 and No. 2 save percentages in the ECAC, Richter’s .935 save percentage narrowly edges Scrivens .932. Both goalies also rank No.1 and No. 2 respectively in games started. Tonight’s game will be Richter’s first trip...
While the orchestra rehearsed, our minders took the journalists on a whirlwind tour of Pyongyang.

"There's been a general hardening of attitudes [from the police] - they think we're the enemy, but we don't teach our kids that...
...spies and informants was reputed to reach into every neighborhood, every home, every family; so Iraqis - whether top government officials or the man in the street - were afraid to speak their mind to a journalist. It didn't help that I was always accompanied by a state-appointed minder, whose job was to ensure that nobody told me anything that might reflect poorly on the great leader. Whatever I asked, whoever I asked it of, the answers would be carefully calibrated to become an homage to Saddam. Even a simple inquiry about the price of eggs would...
