...goal, however, didn't come until 78:32 despite Harvard (1-0-0 ) outshooting the Mountaineers, 20-6. Freshmen midfielder Ladd Fritz found an unmarked George on the left side of the six-yard box and George punched it inside the far post...

The Mountaineers (1-3-0), who had also suffered a grueling 2-1 overtime defeat at Providence on Saturday, collapsed on Fritz in the center of the field, allowing George to roam free on the left...
...economists go, German-born Ernest F. ("Fritz") Schumacher was an oddball. He didn't believe in endless growth, mega-companies or unlimited consumption. His 1973 book with the bumper-sticker title Small Is Beautiful became an eco-bible (worldwide sales: 4 million copies).

His point: while the government is no longer borrowing from Social Security, it is still borrowing heavily from trust funds for Medicare, pensions for military and civilian government employees, highway building and other things. Without those nonpublic borrowings, he contended, the government ran a deficit of $127.8 billion last fiscal year...
