Early attempts by Bill Clinton to scrape off some of Obama's smooth persona backfired, and later barrages - like the charge that Obama plagiarized parts of his speeches - failed only (a Clinton campaign official maintains) because the hectic calendar of primaries and caucuses allowed no time for them to "seep in."

...Field. Coming off of a 5-11 season plagued with injuries and inconsistency, Harvard was looking to come out of the gate quickly in order to set a different tone from last year. Last season, the Crimson met Holy Cross in its season opener and was barely able to scrape by with a win, 14-13. But Harvard showed a new face yesterday, dominating the entire way and capturing an impressive victory, 19-2. “Going into this game we knew that we needed to make a statement,” senior captain Natalie Curtis said...
