...Grumet-Morris was ready when Vermont launched its late-game charge. Though he may have been restless and untested through the first 40 minutes, his footwork was sharp and his positioning perfect, leaving nothing to chance in earning the first back-to-back shutouts for Harvard since 1987—then against the Catamounts and Clarkson...

If he were really running for President, he would be demanding specificity, and forcing creativity, from John Kerry on Iraq and lots of other issues. He would be taking risks, trying to break the entropy of the campaign. A truly sharp John Edwards might say something like, "John Kerry, the more I look at these Bush deficits, the more I think that you and I should scale back some of these promises we've made. Here's my list. What's yours?" But Edwards is not a particularly sharp candidate...
