...situation where the U.S. has little control over oil prices. Gore has proposed creating a permanent home heating oil reserve to protect consumers against supply shocks, as well as a subsidy for low-income families for heating oil.

Consider this: In the one game the freshmen were forced to miss because of extenuating circumstances, Harvard went on to suffer its only regular-season loss of the year. Had the game against New Hampshire not been scheduled on the road during orientation week when Harvard University rules forbid first-years from leaving campus, the 1999 Crimson might well have entered the postseason with an unblemished record...
