Harvard broke up the Wildcats’ play to pass the ball out of its defensive end on a breakaway to New Hampshire’s goal. But the Crimson’s momentum was stopped short when Wildcat Kaitlin Carney halted the attack and sent the ball back to Harvard’s end of the field...
...Warande, Somaliland's minister of information, on a recent afternoon. "Recognize us," he urged. "Look how well we are doing compared to the rest of Somalia." I was interviewing Warande, along with a BBC TV journalist, in the sitting room of his modest house in Hargeisa, capital of the breakaway republic.

Behind me lay the squalid hormonal shambles of adolescence-which I remember as a roller coaster through a haunted house, myself as a skinny kid riding at breakneck speed through a heritage of bad dreams, my wildly careering, breakaway energies slamming against seemingly interminable captivity in the hands of my parents' obsessions, parents' errors, parents' judgments.... and in the hands, as well, of my own ardent and melodramatic ignorance of the world, and of what I was, or might be. Anyone who would sentimentalize adolescence either is a fraud...
