...back. Sheepishly. Apparently, this is going to be a regular gig. So I’m following up incorrect with unpopular. Now, there’s no grace period, because although it’s still September, this is likely the most important weekend of the Ivy slate, ripe with evenly-matched rivalry games. The reigning league champion (Brown) and the squad it unseated (Harvard) meet in their annual early-autumn thriller. And the other member of the Ivies’ triumvirate, Penn, clashes with local rival Villanova in a crucial test of just how much it has recovered from...

Earlier this week, a front page headline in an Iranian newspaper read: "In Arab countries, they call the president Mahmoud." Iknow the president...

Then there's simple luck: Waiheke experienced exceptionally sunny weather from January 2005 through till harvest. "Abundant sunshine and the virtual absence of rainfall translated into small, thick-skinned berries, concentrated flavors and significant, ripe tannins," says Tony Forsyth, owner of Te Whau Vineyard and the current chair of the Waiheke Winegrowers Association.
