...opponent out 3-0. But in the second round of matches, Rochester proved it was not going down without a fight. The fourth, fifth, seventh, and eighth seeds all lost to their Yellowjacket opponents. Bolstered by the support of the home crowd, West and DiSesa played Harvard to the narrow win. “The crowd was great [Saturday],” Lavoie said. “They really got us pumped up and excited.” Harvard was especially thirsty for a win this weekend, coming off of a split in last weekend’s doubleheader. After...
...Some people will question screenwriter Peter Buchman's narrow focus on two military campaigns - the successful rebellion that led to the taking of Havana, Guevara's disastrous operation in Bolivia nine years later - while ignoring Che's role in mass executions in Cuba after the revolution and his ill-advised adventures in West Africa (where Egypt's Nasser correctly predicted Guevara would be coming in as Tarzan among the natives). Others will wonder at the odd lack of dramatic incident among all the warfare. But you really can't argue with Buchman and Soderbergh about the movie they didn...
...ounce. Filled, it measures 5 inches by 7.5 inches and has a gusseted bottom so it stands up. The sides are curved to facilitate easy gripping. Larger sizes are available, but this little gem is a great solution for travelers concerned with packing light. The only downside is the narrow pop-up mouthpiece with a loop-less, removable cap that, much like the ubiquitous commercial water bottle, requires you to use two hands - one for the cap, the other for the bottle - to drink. Price: $6.95 (0.5 liter); $7.95 (1 liter); $9.95 (2-plus liters...
Klean Kanteen This was my favorite. Sturdy - actually, dings and dents are marks of a seasoned traveler, the clerk assured me - with a mouth wide enough to allow ice cubes, but narrow enough to sip without spillage (sports caps are available too), the Klean Kanteen 27-ounce stainless steel bottle kept ice water cold for a two-hour-plus flight. The Kanteen comes in four other sizes, including a 12-ounce "Sippy" for babies, and seven hues - in plain gray steel for us minimalists, and enameled exteriors in vivid, solid colors like Ocean Blue and Orange Sunset. Like the Sigg...
...trade that funds the insurgency, in part because some of the proceeds are also skimmed by the friends, officials and perhaps family members of the stupendously corrupt government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai. Helmand province is mostly desert, but it produces half the world's opium supply along a narrow strip of irrigated land that straddles the Helmand River. The drug trade - Afghanistan provides more than 90% of the world's opium - permeates everything. A former governor, Sher Mohammed Akhundzada, was caught with nine tons of opium, enough to force him out of office, but not enough...
