At the moment, it appears that he may survive his scandal in the way that Nixon could not surmount his.
Capturing five division titles in their first seven seasons of NBA play, the Spurs continually made the play-offs but could not surmount the championship hurdle.
Almost three decades later, Mr. Gabreski faced a challenge he could not surmount when he tried to run the troubled Long Island Rail Road, the nation's busiest commuter line.

However, if the obstacles that stand in the way of a political agreement with the Palestinians are not surmounted pretty soon, the vacuum in policy could have even uglier consequences.
These ciliated cells are not surmounted by an otolithic mass or a cupula, but some of the cilia are attached either directly or indirectly to a tectorial membrane (a membrane with one edge fixed to a stationary base, thus anchoring the cilia) or to an inertia body (a mass lying over the ciliated cells and restraining the movements of the cilia).
Our study makes two main observations: First, it suggests that CMS, when applied topically to murine skin in vivo, accumulate in the stratum corneum but do not surmount this barrier to penetrate into the viable epidermis or beyond.
We were unable to detect labeled CMS in the local lymph nodes or in any other organ which supports our conclusion that they did not surmount the cutaneous barrier even under conditions of physiological tissue fluid blood/lymph equilibrium.
The only other nanoparticles that have been tested in AD patients in terms of altered penetration are zink-oxide particles which also did not surmount the stratum corneum in three human AD volunteers [32].
Withings is some way out of the initially hard part of simply getting products designed, working, made and out into the market, but it will still have to contend with keeping the business operating and growing — challenges that Nokia clearly could not surmount.
