Harvard vs. Yale Meets Bush vs. Gore

I liked this Harvard Crimson lede about prolific-protester Thomas Frampton -- who happens to go to Yale. Change around the emphasis of that biographical data and you get this: "A junior bulldog found himself on a Secret Service leash?" No love!

And I'm genuinely impressed they actually bother to use circumflexes. Here's the lede:
_______

Yale had a surprisingly rough time this week at a convention fêting one of its own.

First, on Monday night, a junior Bulldog found himself on a Secret Service leash after harassing Vice President (and Yale dropout) Dick Cheney. Thomas Frampton, a liberal leader on the New Haven campus, was arrested for assaulting federal officers after coming within ten feet of Cheney’s private seating area and shouting anti-Bush slogans.
