...brews sound almost too good to be true: they have about the same body and alcohol level (up to 5%) of regular premiums but with less sugar and, some claim, the low caloric content of light beers.

Trailing the pack: Third World Assembly nominee John Martin with 229 votes. Despite his low tally, Paul insists, "we don't get discouraged. The only thing that counts is whether what we say is true." All told, the minor-party candidates collected only 0.9% of the vote, a bit better than the 0.7% they garnered...
