Petruccelli controlled the ball in the Harvard zone, launching it ahead for Bengtzen. The Hawk defense narrowly missed picking off the pass, but Bengtzen controlled it and drove in from the left wing to the box, beating two defensemen and firing a sharp crossing shot that found...
...minimum-wage increase, which Dole opposed, to every bill that he supported--most notably an immigration-reform package. Dole pulled the bill so minimum wage wouldn't come to a vote.

This spurred Congress to hastily pass the Defense of Marriage...
