Dole's campaign manager Scott Reed had returned the contribution from the Log Cabin Republicans in August, a campaign insider explained, in the belief that once conservatives found out about...
...success wasn't in the cards for the Crimson; Harvard's aspirations were thwarted from the start by uneven performances. Harvard finished in 13th place--well off the leader board, but ahead of 32 other competitors...
