...Miller. The final three of the night depicted how zoned in Goffredo was. With 3:22 left and the Crimson lead at 19, Goffredo held the ball about five feet behind the arc. When Brown guard Damon Huffman dropped his hands, Goffredo let the shot fly. From air to nylon, it was good all the way—a fitting end to a dominant evening that saw Goffredo etch his name into the Harvard record books once again. After tying the mark for second-most threes made in a game with seven against Dartmouth on Jan. 7, Goffredo moved into...

First, his business is oil. Second, he's running from the police. Liu, who declines to reveal his full name, changes his cell-phone number weekly and won't pass two nights in the same bed. His fugitive life is shared by dozens of other wildcat oilmen in northern China's Shaanxi province, where independent drillers are fighting for compensation after the government seized their wells and detained several...
