When Edward Groening went shopping for a car last Thursday, his first stop was Ganley Chevrolet's new car lot in Cleveland. He test-drove a 2008 Impala and a brand-new Chevy Cobalt, and liked them both. With a loan, he could afford whichever one he chose. But like millions of American consumers, Groening decided that any new debt right now is just too risky. So on Friday he walked across the street to Ganley's used-car dealership. There he found a 2007 Impala with 13,000 miles that cost $5,000 less than new one. At that...
...next week to star in the college Family Feud tournament, airing in mid-November (Carron, Emma, “Harvard Students Ready To Lock Horns on Family Feud,” The Harvard Crimson, Oct. 3).

A survey of SAT-takers in 2003 revealed that only 14 percent of students who scored over 1420 were from families in the bottom 40 percent of income brackets.

In 1916, with the death of his father and brother, the family's business collapsed, and Ferrari had to find a new way to support his mother. So in late 1918 he took a job as a test driver with a small car company in Milan. By 1920, he was racing for Alfa Romeo, and he took first prize in the Savio Circuit in 1923. Impressed by the fearlessness of the young racer, the father of World War I flying ace Francesco Baracca presented Ferrari with...
...great game. She’s been playing great lately,” sophomore midfielder Chloe Keating said. “There were a couple of early collapses where she really saved everyone.” Harvard’s offense picked up from there. McVeigh managed to test Bears goaltender Caroline Washburn on a deflection off of a free hit by senior back Francine Polet, and later Keating tipped a shot by freshman back Georgia McGillivray on goal. Twice in the opening half the Crimson was whistled for violations close to Brown’s goal, and twice...
