"Every night we would hear the trucks rumbling past our windows, taking prisoners to the torture building," said the wife of one prison...
Following Harvard's loss to the Eagles and MIT's 9-8 win over Northeastern, the rumor is out in the GBL that the league is up for grabs this year. Only it doesn't look like anyone wants to win it.
