But the three-point shooting of Wittman and Dale will prove too much for the defensively-challenged Crimson, which is last in the Ivies in field-goal percentage defense.

KMT candidate Huang Jun-ying, a former university official, made corruption a key issue. But he was stung by election eve accusations of vote-buying by his campaign. Huang denied the allegations and demanded a recount; on Sunday a Kaohsiung court approved the request, meaning it could be months before the final outcome is known. Meanwhile, the political tension will likely continue. "The margin was very narrow," says Andrew Yang, secretary...
