This flaw in Harvard's attack was most apparent in the closing minutes of the game as it was unable to capitalize on a two-man advantage after Queens had broken...
With help, and the occasional shove, from groups of foreign advisers, Aristide has taken steps to make a broken and bankrupt nation viable again. The economy, which shrank 30% from 1991 to 1994, mostly because of international sanctions against Cadras, is growing at a healthy pace of 4.5% a year.

It will come as no surprise to them. Throughout the years, the U.S. government has broken promises and reneged on one treaty after another. Senator Gorton's assertion that as budget cuts take place, Native Americans must sacrifice like other Americans is akin to Hitler's telling the Jews in Auschwitz that although conditions there were bad, things in Berlin were not so good either...
