Brown, who last won the Ivy title in 2005, finished third with 99 points. Princeton, Cornell, Dartmouth, and Columbia rounded out the list with distant 58, 54, 47, and 21 points, respectively...

Says the Emperor of the Mississippi White Knights (the group's ritual leader), who asked not to be identified: "Locally, every place that has come under black rule has declined, and has declined sharply." He cited Jackson, Miss., and Washington, D.C., as examples. "Not all black people are particularly...
