Penn's obvious strategy--one that has worked for both squads over the past two years--would encompass a bird-dogging tactic, wherein four or five runners hover near the top two Crimson men, and force them to run off their normal pace, alternately passing them, until they burn...
...Oswald decided to talk to the prisoners in person. Although that tactic was later to be criticized, his personal courage could not be. While police sharpshooters kept watch from prison walls, Oswald and Herman Schwartz, a reform-minded attorney trusted by the convict leaders, walked into the midst of the rebels. The prisoners had created an extremely efficient paramilitary organization. The leaders had commandeered a megaphone, and they dictated a list of demands, which had been neatly typed by inmates seated at a long bench.

In the past, the wily strongman's usual tactic when opposed on one issue or another was to resign, repair to Beirut or Cairo for a few weeks, and await recall on his own terms. This time it looks doubtful that Amri will ever be invited back...
