...started to lose sight of the ball. A missed field goal, an interception, and two fumbles kept both sides from scoring in the first two extra periods. Would the epic clash ever end, or would the failing light force a tie for the first time since 1968?Perhaps the spirit of The Game, unwilling to suffer such a travesty, then took over. Defensive tackle Michael Berg ’07 intercepted Bulldogs quarterback Jeff Mroz on first down, giving the Crimson another chance to clinch the game.

He is 37, educated at Morehouse and Yale. His delivery is silky smooth, not nearly as bluntly political as the 66-year-old Wright's. But it is no less of a performance: He often pops the microphone between his hands during a sermon, so as to free the other hand to chop the air to emphasize words...
