...there is one health story that journalists love to report, it's the one about the health benefits of moderate alcohol consumption. You can practically hear the editors chuckling "Ha! Here's a vice that's good for you!" No doubt part of their interest stems from the fact that some writers and editors are known to enjoy a drink or two. For the record, I often have a glass of red wine with dinner. But the truth of the matter is that the research on the health benefits of alcohol generally gets a heck of a lot more play...
When I finished the book, I went and searched the “truth of da vinci code” online because I was no longer sure what was real and what was not. That creeping feeling of doubt is precisely what separates Brown’s blockbuster from other puzzle-based thrillers. And it is what makes the novel such a satisfying read...

So how do University Police decide whom they should arrest? While we have no evidence that recent campus drug arrests follow any sort of pattern, you don’t have to take my word for it: our reports allow you to track the University Police yourself. That would be impossible if you didn’t know the identities of students charged...
