Choice of Weapons

Peter Westbrook, the subject of this video documentary, cuts a striking figure. A world champion fencer -- he won a bronze medal at the 1984 Olympic Games in the men's saber competition -- he grew up in a Newark housing project, the son of a Japanese mother and an absent African-American father. Clearly, it took some determination on Mr. Westbrook's part to reach his goals in life, and in his current occupation, as the director of the Peter Westbrook Foundation.
