...claustrophobic read. Alexander didn't do anything for months but eat, 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. Such things are forgotten as the book winds down into a tense...
...person to leave, a young woman, told authorities that the only remaining hostages were the couple, who had made no sound or movement since the night before. By 5 p.m., they were presumed to be dead, and the Black Cat commandos moved in half an hour later, unleashing a volley of gunshots into the building.

Then, 10 minutes into the second frame, the Crimson broke through.Wylie ripped a shot from 30 feet out, only to have a Huskie defender block it, but the ball ricocheted right back to her. The senior then fired a half-volley rocket off the first bounce and into the back of the net. The team erupted, as much as a result from going ahead as from the sheer quality of the goal.Although the game did not end as Wylie would have liked, it was a performance that spoke volumes about...
...cross to Rousmaniere, who tallied his second goal of the season. The Crimson doubled its lead five minutes before halftime. Junior Brian Grimm sent a free kick into the penalty area towards Stamatis, who was darting to the near post. Stamatis hit the ball first time on the volley, hammering it into the back of the net. Princeton came out strong after the break, but was unable to carve out many chances. As the Harvard back line frustrated the Tigers, the game became more and more physical. Tough tackles in the midfield made for a heated finish, and the game...
