Mexico is in the throes of its bloodiest drug war ever. There have been almost 11,000 narco-related slayings in the past two years. Because the nation's police forces are so corrupt - many cops moonlight for Mexico's $25 billion drug-trafficking industry - informants are especially important to interdiction efforts.

Coach Tommy Amaker might moonlight for a certain energy drink company. With a 32-20 deficit glaring on the scoreboard at halftime, his players needed a major pick-me-up to reverse the tide of the game and construct a substantial comeback against a cruising Brown team. And in a few short minutes, Amaker gave them wings.To start the second half, junior guard Jeremy Lin first drove the ball in for a layup before accepting a pass from senior guard Drew Housman and launching a three pointer on Harvard’s next possession. Lin’s five points...
