...latest edition of the Institute of Politics’ (IOP) twice-annual youth voter survey revealed that campaign managers across the country are not doing enough to target the youth vote—and are paying for their oversight with lost elections. The survey, which polled campaign managers in some of the most competitive races across the country, found that they generally do not consider youth voter outreach to be a high priority—and that two-thirds did not even know what percentage of the electorate was accounted for by voters ages 18 to 24. The results were...
...suddenly appeared, transforming everyday life. Everything is moving discombobulatingly fast. Globalization accelerates. Wall Street booms. Outside San Francisco, astounding fortunes are made overnight, out of nothing, by plucky nobodies. The new media are scurrilous and partisan. Marketing spin and advertising extend their influence as never before. A fresh urban-youth subculture has emerged, rude and vibrant, entertainment-fixated and violence-glorifying.

The youth movement has been led by Goldfeder, who has fenced much of the spring season with a nagging thumb injury on her weapon hand. The Rochester N.Y. native, apparently unfazed by the handicap, placed first in this past weekend’s IFA Individual Championship for women’s foil...
...rally to beat Dartmouth and claim a share of the Ivy Title. One week later, we drove through sleet and rain to see the Crimson fall to the same Big Green team in a playoff in Providence. Last year, I covered a team plagued by youth, inexperience and injuries—a squad that fell out of the Ivy title picture before the second round of Ivies even started. Now, as the Crimson goes dancing for the first time in four years, I can’t help but feel a little left out. Despite winning gold in men?...
