...group is the way they pare down the music to its basics without any resultant loss in force, especially guitarist Kralle Kawinkle, who rocks the songs out with his driving guitar riffs. The other two members of the band are also quite proficient: Stephan Remmier sings lead with his rough, clear voice as if he had just woken up with bad breath, and produces some nice synthesizer runs; while Peter Behren keeps up a steady (almost monotonous) drum beat...
...Harvard lead appeared in jeopardy minutes later when Crimson midfielder Jay Hooper was given a red card, removing him from the game and forcing the Crimson to play a man short the rest of the way. The penalty was indicative of rough play which nearly led to fist fights several times...
...villages that lie along the East Anatolian Fault. More than 20,000 people perished after one momentous jolt in 1939, and two quakes in the past decade each left more than 2,000 dead. One reason for the terrible toll: the walls of peasant homes are typically made of rough stones held together with a mixture of mud and straw, while their roofs consist of layers of soil as much as four feet thick. When the earth rumbles, the rocks come loose and the roof collapses. Anyone inside is buried alive...

Critical of the world, she is just as hard on herself, harder...
...uninitiated, rugby is a mad game relegated to the rough and tumble who muck about for hours, and then celebrate by balancing mugs of beer on their heads, and of course on their longues. Even loyalists, bent on preserving tradition--the chants, Pig Roasts, and leaving teammates behind on road trips--do not shrink from the tale that rugby started with marauding Britons who played a mean keep-away with the heads of slaughtered Druids...
