After the score, Harvard became even more defensive to prevent the Demon Deacons from getting into the circle. The amazing team speed of Wake Forest eventually made the difference. In the final ten minutes of the first half, the opposition’s incredible stamina provided an impossible offensive advantage, and they closed out the period with two goals, both off of penalty corners...
Just look at these guys. Giants. Golems. Geezers with a quarter-century of history together, a "long shadow," as Keith Richards says, "that we drag around"... The Stones still have the stamina, but there's always at least a hint of a strain in the music too, a self-consciousness about the energy, as if they were the oldest guys at the gym and trying to look good on the Nautilus. Rock 'n' roll may be their life--and their business. It may come naturally to them still, but it sure doesn't come easy. That's what's different...
...Saddam's regime will collapse that easily, or that it will be significantly troubled by the strategically insignificant opposition forces. Like the "Afghan model," the "October surprise" can be implemented relatively quickly and has the advantage of a first-round knockout - it doesn't seriously test the political-military stamina of the U.S. war effort.

Indeed, they warn, Saddam's own battle plan will be precisely to draw American ground forces into Iraq's cities rather than face them...
...reigning champions France, Korea lost and lost and lost, even falling to the lowly rated Czech Republic.

Three of Korea's key World Cup goals have come late in the game, when Portugal, Italy and the U.S. were simply too exhausted to defend themselves. "The Koreans are so fit they could go out and win a track meet right now," said American coach Bruce Arena...
...ranges from foxes, bears, sable and reindeer in the interior to marine bird colonies, seals and sea lions on the coast. It's possible to see them in the same day. The island's undeveloped state means that getting to the wilderness is half the excitement, though it requires stamina and the will to drive yet another hour up the rutted mud strip before you. On the way you may wonder if the bone-jarring ride is worth it, but once faced with the stunning views of cobalt lakes and rolling hills, panicked thoughts of chiropractor bills are quickly forgotten...
