...unusual losses. Vloka and teammate senior epee Maria Larsson finished the day 4-2. But it was the epee team that secured the Ivy title for the women, beating Penn 7-2 to make up for close losses in the foil and sabre. The epee team cumulated a mere three losses in 18 bouts, which was crucial in the team’s win against Penn. “The epee squad was fantastic,” Cross said. “They were really strong and it really helped us pull through.” The Crimson was able...
...Tonight, after a mere five decades in the doghouse, after some 50 movies as a star and 13 as a writer-director, Lewis, 82, is being allowed back onstage.

If there is a single "big idea" to have emerged in the first decade of the new millennium - from the September 11 attacks to the financial crash - it is the notion of the "black swan," the danger posed by difficult to predict, high-impact events. The short history of nuclear weapons is already scattered with unplanned and seemingly improbable incidents that suggest we feel more secure than we should. In 1995, a communication failure with the Russian Embassy led the Russian military to believe that a weather rocket launched off the coast...
