Fencing championships, particularly sabre competitions, have taken on a highly clinical aspect in recent years, with many of the contestants holding doctorates of one sort or another. With "Dr. This" meeting "Dr. That" while two or three other doctors are warming up for bouts, the salles have sounded more like hospitals than fencing rooms.

To keep our readers from smelling ether every time they open THE RIPOSTE, the magazine has decided to abandon the practice of "doctoring" a large percentage of the contestants. From now on many surnames will have to survive without handles. We hope that this will not be considered discourteous.
