The group accompanied the report with a call for tighter FDA regulations on bottled water and Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J) said last Tuesday he would introduce a bill that would...
Convincing a whole nation to pay a hefty premium for something available at home for next to nothing has to be one of the greatest feats in the history of American advertising.

Each year, senior members of the societies "tap" 15 members of the junior class to be members for the following year. Considering there are only five societies with tombs and they only tap 15 new members each year, charges of elitism are well-founded. However, the goal in choosing new members is to assemble a diverse group of students from different backgrounds of different races, and of both sexes. "Kind of the opposite of final clubs," says one Harvard freshman proctor who was a member of a secret society. The group of 15 is simply chosen--there is no "rush...
