...first time ever, the Quidditch team undertook a grueling 4 hour journey to compete in the Intercollegiate Quidditch World Cup at Middlebury College, in a quest for glory, thrills, and a chance to emerge victorious in yet another contest against that college in New Haven.

But it's the lovely Kim, just 22, who is the revelation here. She can play - no, she can be - a creature of mute docility, then searching ardor, then explosive eroticism, then murderous intent. She is Lady Chatterley and Lady Macbeth...
...World War II, germans trekked west to surrender to Americans rather than to Russians, believing they would be treated humanely.
