...years ago, the Oakland-based human-rights activist came to a realization. If the U.S. accelerated the transition to a cleaner economy, millions of jobs in green construction and alternative energy could be created. Those jobs--call them green collar--were exactly what unemployed residents of cities like Oakland needed. Environmental activists and inner-city minorities--two groups often segregated by race and class--had a common interest, and it could help extend the coalition against climate change beyond hard-core greenies.

...want a pretty-boy receiver, like Harvard’s Corey Mazza, who appears in Sports Illustrated photo shoots but disappears in big games (two receptions vs. Yale last year). Instead, you have a throwback fullback (Joe Fuccillo) who wears a cowboy collar behind his long hair and passes up touches for a chance to punch people in the mouth – who, in this golden age of the wide-open spread offense, still uses a fullback...
