...says. “Sometimes it might be passing, rebounding, defense, scoring—I’m just going to try to do what the team needs that game.” His adaptability, coupled with his boundless energy on the court, could prove to be a major weapon in Lin’s athletic arsenal. These skills would be especially dangerous for the Crimson’s opposition if Lin continues to gain experience and composure over Harvard’s first few games, becoming more able to channel and control his intensity...

Waterboarding, you may remember, is the practice of holding someone down and pouring water over his face until he thinks he's drowning. U.S. interrogators allegedly used some version of the technique on high-level terrorism suspects after 9/11. Current and former U.S. military leaders, human-rights organizations and prominent...
