Longing for off-the-wall events at Harvard, Horovitz decided to blend inner tubes, Swedish fish, and a 1975 thriller. The result? The “MAC Attack,” which lured adventurous students to the MAC pool, getting them to shell out to sit in inner-tubes while watching Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” on a large screen...

Says Ewing-Mulligan: "Seduction is so outrageous that it's almost acceptable," and it helps that the Wine Spectator gave the Bordeaux-style blend a respectable 89 rating. But there is White Lie Early Season Chardonnay--a de-alcoholized concoction selling for about $10 a bottle, aimed at women who are counting calories.
