HARVARD 12, HOLY CROSS 0 As her teammates chanted, “we want some more, we want some more,” senior Susie Winkeller came to the plate in the bottom of the third with one out and two runners on base.

Route Irish, regarded by many as the most dangerous road in Iraq, was the only way to the base, says Lozano, whose company was ordered to set up a temporary checkpoint to ensure a safe passage for Negroponte's convoy. After the ambassador's party had passed, Lozano and the other soldiers maintained their position with two Humvees, one blocking the road and the other a few meters behind, waiting...
