...sleep and interrogate prisoners. Many of the book's scenes take place in interview booths-Alexander, his partner, an interpreter and the bad guy. It's often gripping, as the participants volley back and forth with verbal attacks, strategies and approaches, making for a surprisingly cerebral war book. That tight focus does, however, leave large gaps. Alexander scarcely discusses the theories behind his interrogation strategy, its derivation or whether the U.S. military continues to use it.

...dominated in the second and third periods led by the line of tri-captains Sarah Vaillancourt and Jenny Brine and senior Sarah Wilson. With spectacular plays by Vaillancourt, the game was one of the most exciting matchups of the season. “It was a pretty tight game for two periods, and then we were able to open things up,” Harvard coach Katey Stone said. “They scored and we responded with more composure, and it’s exactly what we are capable of.” After an uneventful first period, Cornell...
