...last six minutes, when sophomore Katharine Chute found the back of the net. Harvard ended the first frame with a 15-8 advantage in shots and only one power play compared with the Raiders’ five. Despite a scoreless third period, the race to break the tie fueled rough play on both ends of the ice. The Crimson opened up the frame with three shots in the first 40 seconds. Kessler entered the game in the third and was dominant between the pipes, posting seven saves. The game became increasingly physical as both Vaillancourt and sophomore Liza Ryabkina served...

That's what appeared to have happened in June, when the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act, the first national bill mandating greenhouse-gas emissions caps to receive a full vote in the Senate, went down in defeat, in part because critics exploited fears that the bill would raise already record-high energy prices...
