...Hampshire ran offense inside-out so we worked hard to set a strong solid block and our block allowed us to play really good defense. "Our strong block is really disturbing to their hitters and took them out of their game and helped push the energy in our favor.” The first frame was a hard fought battle between the Crimson (6-7, 1-0 Ivy) and the Wildcats (3-13). Harvard edged out New Hampshire, 26-24, in a match filled with momentum shifts. Late in the set, the Crimson fell behind, 21-19, but was able...

He's an enthusiast for John McCain, who has cultivated close links with British Conservatives and addressed their conference in 2006. Newmark admits, however, that grassroots Tories tend to favor Barack Obama because of British disenchantment with the Bush administration.
