...Campaign finance reform is the best argument for a American third party in years, maybe ever, and it gets to the heart of what the Reform party needs to be to find the voters and constituencies that are sick of the system: issue-driven and intellectually inviting. The debate over reform has advanced beyond Ross Perot's jug-eared, wild-eyed peek under the hood; it has also advanced beyond ? or, rather, never really included ? Buchanan's willful, calculated ignorance of the rules of economic and political success in the modern world. We are up to specifics, up to intra...
...built-in constituency ? a rabid band of anti-abortion, pro-prayer protectionists who are fightin' mad over the Republicans' slow-but-insistent move back to the center under George W. Bush. With a Reform party nod, Buchanan gets a brand-new pan-partisan forum for his populism ? in his third go-round, his act is wearing thin with GOP voters ? and a brand-new war chest.

Senior quarterback Rich Linden, whose 26-game starting streak ended on Saturday, played one series, with 5:44 left in the second quarter. He completed a 25-yard pass to convert on third-and-15, but a personal foul and false start left him with third-and-38, and Harvard had to punt. Linden completed 1-of-3 passes and was sacked once for a five-yard loss...
After Kacyvenski's fumble recovery on the first series of the third quarter, Harvard drove 70 yards on just four plays to put the game away. On third-and-six, Wilford scrambled for a 41-yard run, with an aggressive block by Jones catalyzing the play...
