Harvard beat Princeton 8-1 in the finals on February 26. The Crimson had a perfect 12-0 record in dual matches and a spotless 6-0 Ivy League scorecard.

When I flew into North Korea, I felt as if I had landed in another galaxy. It was not just the spotless, carless streets, the loudspeakers broadcasting propaganda at dawn, the faceless groups of people filing silently from Kim Il Sung Stadium to Kim Il Sung University to Kim Il Sung Higher Party School (all with badges of Kim Il Sung on their hearts); it was, even more, the spooky unreality of a country that was building a 105-story tourist hotel while allowing almost no tourists, and showing off an Olympic stadium for the Games that were never held...
