...central Berlin's hippest watering holes. Wuergeengel 122 Dresdener Strasse, wuergeengel.de A Kreuzberg institution, this old-fashioned, wood-paneled bar trumps the pretentious chic often found in new locations in the former East Berlin districts of Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg.

So it was little surprise when he traveled the well-worn path of the troublemaker, dropping out of high school and promptly beating up an older kid so severely that Ryan was sentenced to a year at Plainfield Juvenile Correctional Facility. Once inside, one of the few times he picked up a pencil, he used it to stab another inmate in the hand. He felt that...
...finished. As a result, the tournament rested on just yesterday’s round of play, and conditions were little better than the day before. “The course was pretty beat up today,” sophomore Sam Lissner said. “The greens were rough and very spotty. The greens were basically un-puttable for at least some of us.” One Crimson player who didn’t struggle was senior D.J. Hynes, who shot a 74 on his way to a top-10 finish. “Having done this for four...
