...then he struck. One lone frosh, standing up for tradition. Eight thousand fans watched him begin his journey from the near corner of the Harvard end zone. They watched him dash past a drummer into the middle of the Veritas logo. They watched him snatch the "VE" in stride and make a beeline for the far corner of the Dartmouth end zone.

...than the national interest. There were Democratic liberals like Henry Waxman of California, whose vision of the government as a cash cow for special interests helped spawn taxpayer revolts and voodoo economics. And there were the special-interest lobbyists whose phone-bank politics stampeded Congress into yet another crazed dash to the precipice...
