Warwick cushions US blow

Congratulations to students at Warwick University who have snatched back the record for the world's largest pillow fight from a US upstart. The students first claimed the record three weeks ago, with 967 people engaged in the struggle, 300 more than the previous record. Days later, however, feathers flew as some 1,076 students at Duke University in North Carolina took the record. Last Thursday, Warwick exacted revenge, and 1,308 students appear to have helped it reclaim the title, currently being checked by the Guinness Book of Records.
