...negativity and relentlessness of this cruel, cruel race. But the numbers tell a different story. It was 18 months from the first candidacy announcement to the 2000 election, and 22 months from the first candidacy announcement to the election of 2004. Contrary to those expectations, however, voter turnout crept up from 55 percent to 61 percent. Of course, we are facing a much longer leap this time around, with a total of 30 months since Biden’s announcement back in March of 2006. But this is hardly a resounding blow against democracy.

...Princeton, Nyamekye moved up to the front line, shifting the Crimson’s traditional 4-4-2 formation to a 3-4-3, and answered the call each time with a vital goal. Against Brown with the visiting Bears frantically holding on to a 2-1 lead, Nyamekye crept into the box and redirected a Matt Hoff flick past the Bear’s keeper for the equalizer in the 83rd minute.

...such civic-wide obsession began to wane as television crept in during the 1980s and Indians were exposed to the wider, far superior world of sports. "The knowledge seeped in that we weren't very good," says Bhimani. The militant sense of east-west ethnic pride faded with the partition generation and today support for the two clubs has to do less with regional identity and more with plain club loyalty. Imported Brazilian and Nigerian players now star for both sides and routinely swap teams. The bulk of the upper and middle classes who once passionately cared about Kolkata football...
