...Harvard made 20 of 27 free throws, good for 74.1 percent, an improvement on the 17-of-27 performance last Saturday against the Big Green and much better than the 7-of-16 stinker the previous night against the Quakers. Unlike those two games, the team was perfect in 1-and-1 opportunities, making both shots in all four of those trips...

But he is a savvy enough politician to recognize that with a political stinker of a war at his back and a chops-licking Democratic majority in front of him, he had to offer up something in tonight's State of the Union address to buy a little good will. And that is exactly what he did with his decidedly out-of-character calls for better fuel economy, stepped-up production of alternative energy and a whole pupu platter of green-sounding goodies.
