...with fine wine in France or Italy, the trick is to buy at source. If you're in the country from August to October, head for the Cape Winemakers Guild auction, www.capewinemakersguild.com, to be held this year on Oct. 3. Or try the Soweto Wine Festival, www.sowetowinefestival.co.za, on Sept. 4-5.

Students who got a 5 on the BC exam and are prospective life sciences concentrators should consider taking Math 19a, a life sciences-oriented course on differential equations that features advanced material but is relatively painless. Math 1b is taught entirely in section, and the quality of your learning experience is largely dependent...
...surprise star was Totò, a pint-size, black-and-white, eight-month-old mixed-breed from Naples whom our friends brought along to a house we shared near the southern town of Pula. Totò - named for the famed Neapolitan comedian, not Dorothy's pooch - has exactly one trick in his repertoire: misbehaving. He swiped everything from pasta al pesto to a half-pound of butter off the kitchen table, ran around the yard with a neighbor's flip-flop between his teeth, and even left a summer-holiday gift on another neighbor's driveway.
