...page WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic, 2008, bound like a high school yearbook and bundled with a "cigarette pack" of colored markers, called on governments to adhere to six tobacco control policies it calls MPOWER: monitor tobacco use; protect people from secondhand smoke; offer help to people who want to quit; warn about the risks of smoking; enforce bans on cigarette advertising; and raise tobacco taxes. The report also breaks down tobacco consumption and prevention efforts country by country. To date, it is the most comprehensive study of its kind at a global level, said WHO Director-General...

Senior Teddy Sherrill and sophomores Karl Harmenberg and Billy Stallings led the Ivy pack, taking the first two spots as well as the sixth overall out of 16 total fencers. Sherrill went 8-1 on the day. “They were fencing pretty well in the first round, about what we would expect, but in the later rounds they were performing exceptionally,” junior co-captain...
