Safety concerns nearly caused the Athletics Department to cancel all Houses’ Intramural (IM) B-level crew boats last week, but a mild uproar from students induced administrators to keep the B-boats on hand, students learned yesterday...
With 463 wineries producing 119 million liters annually, New Zealand wines have come a long way since the first Sauvignon Blanc was harvested in Marlborough a mere 30 years ago. Mild, fruity whites are what the country is most associated with, but the long-held perception that New Zealand's terroir isn't suited to reds has finally been overcome by a number of wineries producing world-class Pinot Noir.

Less than 24 hours later, papal spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls released a statement canceling all of John Paul's appointments for Monday because of what was described as a mild case of the flu. The plugged-in Italian press corps took a light approach to the story by noting that the 84-year-old Pope had caught the same flu bug that had already bitten half of Rome. Tuesday morning another statement cleared the Pope's calendar for the next...
