...quarterback Larry Brown has more on the line in this year's Yale game than just avenging last year's Yale game than just avenging last year's loss to the Elis and trying to salvage this frustrating season.

...honors for a show-stopping effort go to Jim O'Brien, who brings to the part of Bud Frump--the boss's maddeningly wimpish nephew--not only an impressive comic flair, but also the best singing voice in the cast.

NOWs are easier to understand, but they do not offer any great advantages over PATS. NOW accounts too are advantageous mainly to those who can maintain big balances, though the break-even point may be somewhat lower than with PATS. Under Citibank's plan, for instance, a depositor will earn 5% interest on the money he keeps in a NOW account and if he maintains a total balance of at least $3,000, pay no service fee. But if the combined balance drops below that, he must pay a charge...
