Even his critics do not deny that Wellstone is a man of principle. And as he discusses his agenda, you can't help notice that Wellstone is talking with an uncalculated frankness that is absent from mainstream political debate. He stresses the fact that the answers to our problems will not come easily and concedes that most of them are not even known. He speaks of his political enemies with respect.

However, the outside shooting has often been noticeably absent. Against Lehigh, for instance, Harvard only hit 10 out of 36 shots in the first half as the two teams waddled to a 27-27 halftime tie.
