...start to bottle it, the wine is already being traded in Bordeaux for more than €50 per bottle. That's double the price his 2004 wine fetched, and 75% higher than the spectacular 2000 vintage, the best in recent memory. "If you have a wine that's in demand, you can sell it," he shrugs. In the village of Margueron an hour's drive away to the east, at Jean Charles' winery just behind the medieval church, the picture couldn't be more different. Charles usually sells his entire wine output to a local merchant, who bottles and markets...
...almonds. And, in a boon to consumers, many producers have been selling their surplus stocks as "cleanskins" - bargain-priced bottles that show neither the winemaker nor the winery. Even so, Sam Tolley, chief executive of the awbc, reckons it will take at least another two years before supply and demand get back in line. Letting the free market take its toll is not the way of French agriculture. That's one reason why the pain caused by the glut is less acute in France than in Australia. But it also helps to explain why the French lost out so badly...
...reduction in total mortality. Only two servings of fish a week are requisite to garner these benefits. Though this study may give relief to some, Harvard students don’t seem to have bitten the media’s fish-denouncing bait. “Student demand for seafood, especially fish, has really climbed over the last year,” said Crista Martin, assistant director of Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS).

Zinc prices are three times higher than they were in 2003, meaning that the metals alone (97.5 percent zinc, 2.5 percent copper) needed to manufacture one penny cost 0.8 cents and rising. Oh yes, there is also the minor trifle that huge demand for these metals encourages the environmentally destructive mining process needed to extract them. Add one more category of people whom the penny hurts: those who’ve ever stood in line. A study has shown that making change with pennies adds three seconds to every cash transaction. Penny elimination...
...secondary field proposals this fall, however. The Department of Economics, for example, still plans to meet in late November to discuss secondary fields, and it will not submit a proposal until the spring deadline, if at all. “Our informal sense is that there is considerable potential demand for a secondary field in economics, but we want to make sure we make an informed and responsible decision,” Professor of Economics James H. Stock wrote in an e-mail. The EPC, which has already met twice this semester to discuss secondary field proposals, expects to post...
