FENCING--With a 4-2 record, and perhaps the best foil team in the country, Harvard's fencers could go a long way. It's hard to predict the Ivy teams to beat, but Cornell and Columbia (and naturally Princeton) are good bets. The two losses thus far, to St. John's and NYU, could possibly have been avoided, but lack of experience can often negate talent.

...humanists celebrate "responsible" freedom after centuries of "bondage to church or state." Marriage "where viable" is "a cherished human relationship," but "other sexual relationships also are significant."

He gives Reagan the edge mainly because of the sort of people who vote in presidential primaries. Reagan, Will says, "is more fun, and basically politics at the nominating level is dominated by comfortable, middle-class, leisured people. They do it for fun, not because they're being ground into the dust by the iron heel of tyranny." Asked his own preference between Ford and Reagan, Will pauses as if he had never...
