...varsity eight failed to make the Grand Final of the Sprints for the first time in 44 years. Likewise, the lightweights also fell short—their varsity crew was conspicuously absent from the Grand Final for the first time in over six decades.For the heavyweights, the Sprints result differed markedly from their performance during the rest of the season.

McCain could have defused legitimate questions about his campaign's new discipline in any number of ways, but to put reporters from a major newsmagazine in the deep freeze betrays a fundamental lack of self-control, not to mention candor.
