...Harvard men's and women's fencing teams both found themselves on the wrong end of the sword this weekend, as perennially tough Ivy foe Columbia romped to easy victories in New York on Saturday...
...never like this. Organizers with headsets and microphones moved the protesters about, here for a CNN live shot, there to confront a Democratic Congressman, louder here, softer over there, conducting the crowd like a roving symphony orchestra.

Floyd Flake, pastor of the Allen African Methodist Episcopal Church in Queens, N.Y., who, despite spending six terms as a Democratic member of Congress, endorsed Republican Rudy Giuliani for mayor of New York City. Flake, whose 10,000-member congregation supports an independent academy that offers an alternative to the area's lousy public schools, has emerged as a forceful advocate of vouchers. Others back Rod Paige, superintendent of schools in Houston. Or Joyce Ladner, a sociologist at the Brookings Institution, whose idea...
