...dual-meet play, nine bouts are fought for each weapon—with three fencers in each weapon facing off in round-robin play—for a total of 27 bouts. The men’s side won all three weapons, 7-2 in saber, 8-1 in foil, and 6-3 in epee. The women dominated Sacred Heart in saber, 8-1, and foil, 9-0, but lost epee, 4-5. On Saturday, both teams faced off against five other schools at Princeton’s Jadwin Gym. The men beat Vassar...
Defeated, Marxism is no longer the incarnation of evil in our midst, but rather the perfect (vanquished) foil in Benedict's ongoing intellectually driven sermon that Christian faith is history's only true answer. But the Pope is not ready to declare victory.

...Brandeis took the first two in convincing fashion, solidifying a Judges victory. Although the Crimson won the final bout, it was for naught as the squad fell, 14-13.

The foilists notched eight wins in each of the other two meets. The epee fencers couldn’t find that same rhythm. With a strong combination...

Traveling to State College, Pa. for the Penn State Garret Open this weekend, the fencing squad wasn’t sure what to expect from both the seasoned veterans and its rookies, but both took on the challenge and fenced at their highest level. As an individual-based tournament, the meet provided an arena for returning fencers to get themselves reacclimated to competition, while freshmen saw their first collegiate...
...that required not only a trained palate but also a certain imagination. The judges had already sampled wines in a pressurized room that replicates the taste-deadening conditions at 30,000 ft., so they knew to choose softer, fruitier wines. After six bottles had been chosen, their foil coverings were removed, and even the labels were judged. "The wine has to taste good. It also has to be perceived as good," said judge Anthony Dias Blue, wine and spirits editor of Bon Appetit magazine. All six of the selected wines passed the label test, and their makers were richly rewarded...
