Consumers are beginning to reap the benefits of the heightened competition. Getson's $1,000 gift card came from LendingTree, which used the card, as it always does, to rebate half the fee it collects for referring business to brokers around the country. In this case, the rebate chopped the total commission on Getson's deal from 6% to 5.5%--an important chink in the Old Guard's armor, says Peter Sealey, a professor of technology and marketing at the University of California, Berkeley. "Slowly but surely, technology is coming into play in the real estate market," he says...
...former 14th century convent, is his latest stage set. The justly celebrated (and very pricey) Il Cibrèo came first in 1979, followed quickly by the more affordable Trattoria Cibreo, then the Cibrèo Caffè across the street. At the convivial Teatro del Sale, a membership fee of $7 opens the door to a buffet of creative yet nostalgic cuisine (prix fixe $32), with a theatrical revue or concert after dinner. Picchi calls his new labor of love a Circo-lo - a play on the Italian for circus and club. Picchi, 50, clearly relishes greeting guests...

...potential for such an announcement is not as farfetched as it might seem. While University President Lawrence H. Summers and other key administrators have made their opposition to the passage of the termbill fee well-known, they have hinted that there may be an alternative way to fund the use of wind power. We applaud the signs of imminent action and are open to any new proposals the administration may present. This is especially true if, as has been suggested, they end up transferring more energy use to wind power than the termbill proposal would...
...time. Unless the Faculty Council is provided with a substantive wind energy plan before they meet in 12 days, they will not be able to examine the termbill proposal alongside its alternatives. Since such a comparison is crucial, we urge the Council to delay its consideration of the termbill fee until such a time that Harvard administrators provide them with a fully developed alternative. Termbills for the spring term have already been drawn up, so this issue no longer has the same urgency it did a month ago. The Council can thus err on the side of caution...
