The ECAC All-Stars were able to tally one more goal in the final period, but it was the U.S. National Team that closed out the scoring with the final goal...
...said that she wears two hats—one as a former political professional, and the other as a faculty member of the University. Though she had no formal connections to the Kerry campaign, her husband, James A. Johnson, headed Kerry’s search for a running mate in the spring and early summer of 2004. A well-connected Democratic activist and businessman, Johnson formerly served as the chairman of the Brookings Institution, a prominent liberal think-tank in Washington, D.C.
