...grape may do the heart some good go back at least 30 years, although each new shot of positive evidence still gets lots of attention. Two weeks ago, a big study in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that a particular pattern of drinking--rather than the absolute amount or the type of alcohol consumed--seems to have the best health effects. The investigators concluded that men who consistently drink a small amount of beer, wine or spirits three or more days a week suffer fewer heart attacks than those who drink less frequently.

For a school that has long been held up as striking an excellent balance between athletics and academics while avoiding the transgressions that have often marred programs at other big-time schools, this attention is new and exceptionally disappointing.

Buyers who don't compare prices risk overpaying or--like Smith--getting taken. Some crafty sellers use friends and associates to get a bidding frenzy started and then let you know--after the auction has closed--that the other bidders have defaulted and you can get the item for your "bargain" bid in the middle of the range. In that case, of course, your bargain...
