...Harvard beat Princeton, 14-12, in 1997 when kicker Mike Giampaolo made a field goal that went through despite being tipped, before hitting a career-long 43-yarder for the win. That game was tied, 5-5, at one point, something I've never seen in any other football game at any level...

...rest of the campaign, Bush used the ad as a smoke screen to obscure his assaults on McCain. His team quickly cut an effective response ad, with a nice kicker: "Disagree with me, fine," it said, "but do not challenge my integrity." It was his best performance yet, and Bush used variations on the theme in the final debate and in his press conferences. For instance, when reporters challenged him on his failure to speak out against the racist policies of Bob Jones University, he jutted his jaw and said, "Don't you judge my heart." The Bush camp kept...
