...Harvard fencing teams faced an epic battle through blizzard and breakdowns yesterday to take home two more wins each, over Brown and Penn, which brought them one step closer to the all-important Ivy League title.

In 1977, the Israeli Labour party lost the general elections to the Likud for the first time in the history of the state of Israel. The disciples of David Ben-Gurion, the founding father of the Jewish State, lost to the descendants of Vladimir Jabotinsky, the Zionist revisionist...
