...Wouldn't it serve the Southeastern Conference right if Arkansas shellacked Alabama? Any conference that gave Georgia, a 6-5 team, the chance to be conference champion (which would have happened had the Tide lost to Auburn last week) deserves to get blown out.

While mutual funds as a group have been losing customers, sales of shares in no-load funds have continued to run far ahead of redemptions. Recently two large funds, Financial Programs, Inc. and Steadman Security Corp., converted to no-load status...
