...product -- Michelob Dry -- that it is launching it with the industry's biggest introductory ad campaign since Bud Light. Two other firms have joined in the dry stakes. In early November, G. Heileman Brewing Co. of Wisconsin, which also distributes Old Style Dry in the Midwest, began selling Rainier Dry to its customers in the rainy Northwest, using the contrary slogan: THE DRY SEASON IS COMING.

Although he is Monaco's Olympic representative and entitled to royal treatment, Prince Rainier's son lives in the athletes' Village, where he introduces himself as plain Albert.
