...push for the equalizer with heavy offensive pressure. But Harvard received a gift at the 55:43 mark as Hagner lofted a ball into the Cornell box. Big Red defenseman Leslie Campbell skied high in an attempt to deflect the ball out of harm’s way, but wound up heading the ball over the leap of her own keeper and into her team’s own goal. “It was an odd play, but own-goals happen and that’s soccer,” Lau said. “It was a definitely...

...signature wound of the Iraq war: limb loss. The potency of insurgent bombs and the proficiency of U.S. lifesavers have produced this result. Of the 20,322 Americans wounded in action, 436 have been amputees--more than 2%, a figure higher than in every war of the previous century except Vietnam, for which there were no good statistics.
