...expect the gap to broaden over the remaining weeks. The disparity means Lazio can afford to push advertising campaigns without fearing equal retaliation from Clinton. And she faces other looming roadblocks.

An estimated 200,000 children as young as six have tried fencing, lunging and slashing at birthday parties as well as at fencing clubs and tournaments across the U.S. Since 1996 the number of registered members under 20 of the U.S. Fencing Association, the sport's governing body, has tripled, to 9,000.
