...team's inadequacies shooting threes, but the real problem this weekend seemed to be Harvard's unwillingness to shoot from the perimeter. Junior forward Mike Scott, who is clearly not Harvard's best long-range threat, was forced to take nearly half of Harvard's threes almost by default--no one else on the floor would step...

But the Republican of choice was always Cohen for Defense. Berger got the NSC job in part by default: he was offered the chief-of-staff position when Erskine Bowles at first seemed unwilling to take it, so NSC was the consolation prize. And Lake was rewarded with the CIA after being evicted from the NSC to make room for Berger...
