Nguyen, the No. 20 seed, defeated No. 12 Trevor Smith of Princeton in another seesaw third round battle, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4.

His idea is to do good deeds for three people, each of whom does the same for three more individuals and so on--until, presumably, peace is established in the Middle East. This is not dissimilar to Frank Capra's John...
...Eugene come by his scars? Why, long ago, his evil father dumped a can of gasoline on him and lit a match. Why is Arlene a drunk? Well, you see, her mother was a bag lady and her former husband a wife beater. Why is Trevor such a shy and skittish little do-gooder?
