Walk into a British pub and order a pint bottle of Magners Original - a premium cider brewed by Ireland's C&C Group - and be ready to cough up the princely sum of $7 to $8. That's as much or more than you'd pay for any other cider or beer on offer. But price be damned, say British drinkers, who are acquiring a growing thirst for ciders in general, and premium ones in particular. Cider consumption in Britain jumped 35% last year - an increase analysts have dubbed the Magners effect. That's a tribute to a brand that...
...people who know Brown best doubt that he'll ever metamorphose into the kind of confessional charmer the public would like enough to stand a round of drinks at their local pub.

The performance is being organized by the College Events Board (CEB) and Campus Life Fellow John T. Drake ’06. The concert will be free and open to all Harvard affiliates, according to a CEB press release and the board’s chair, Adam Goldenberg...
Britons (who have and expect an intensely personal relationship with their politician) love to grumble about their lot and their leaders, especially if--like Blair--they've been around for a decade. So you would never guess from a few hours down the pub how much better a place Britain is now than it was a decade ago. It's more prosperous, it's healthier, it's better educated, and--with all the inevitable caveats about disaffected young Muslim men--it is the European nation most comfortable with the multicultural future that is the fate of all of them...
