It’s been a rough year for the Catamounts. Coming in with high expectations after upsetting top-seeded Clarkson in the first round of last season’s playoffs, Vermont surrendered 18 goals in its first three games and has never really recovered. The centerpiece of last season’s playoff success—goaltender Shawn Conschafter—has endured a rough season.

...Adam Cohen's article "Rough Justice," about the Bush Administration's decision to use military tribunals to fight terrorism [THE LAW, Dec. 10]: As an American citizen, I am protective of my country's security and my civil liberties.

But to those who lived that story and now rub up against its shards every day, resolution is nothing more than a mass-marketed myth. Their reality is raw and unending. Fire fighters and police brawl at ground zero. Tales of divorces spawned by Sept...
...caves weren't five-star accommodations with internal hydroelectric power plants and brick-lined walls--the kind sometimes imagined in the computer-generated images of the press. Such commodious quarters might exist higher in the White Mountains, but the ones I saw were simply rough bunkers...
