...implausible mobility for a man of his size.It was a lopsided matchup, one that Harvard couldn’t win, so the Crimson tried to prevent it from being the focal point of the game. For most of the game, Winters was confined to screen plays and short passes while Harvard tried to establish its running attack. The Crimson also attempted to keep Randolph from breaking out by pestering him with an extra player rushing into the backfield and sticking his receivers with man coverage.Neither strategy was as effective as Harvard would have liked.

...government-run public option to the measure as an alternative for providing coverage to the uninsured. While some liberals in the Senate have gone so far as to say they will not vote for a bill that does not include a public option, Baucus said it would not pass on the Senate floor. He said, however, that one "live possibility" is the idea of adding a so-called trigger that would create a public plan if private insurance companies fail to do enough to bring down costs and make coverage available to enough Americans.
