This shake-up creates both challenges and chances for cardholders--and that means virtually all of us. Consumers like Sue Ruopp, 30, a homemaker in Crestline, California, refuse to pay irksome new fees or higher interest rates.

Kind of ironic, isn't it?" A zealous law student threatened to sue The Crimson for triple damages for the two weeks of Boston Globes that had failed to arrive at his door. He fumed that poor delivery had forced him to spend $8.10 of his own money for the missing papers, that The Crimson had not even agreed to provide a refund...
...They're an outstanding team," Harvard coach Sue Caples said. "They're very skilled, but we could have played with them longer. Against a team of this caliber, we have to play for 70 minutes...
