CROWN CAPS AND POP TOPS The crenellated closures usually found on beer bottles are being drafted into service for sparkling wines. Following the tradition of winemakers in Italy's Veneto region, who use these covers for bottles destined for their home consumption, Mionetto, a winery based in Valdobbiadene, seals its IL bottles with these user- friendly caps. Cali fornia's Domaine Chandon puts crown caps on étoile, its top-of-the-line cuvée. Meanwhile, Sofia Blanc de Blancs, the sparkling wine that filmmaker turned winemaker Francis Coppola created for his daughter's wedding, now also comes in magenta...
...course, the Lovitzes are a minority of Lost viewers. But they're a vocal one. Pop-culture critic Steven Johnson, author of Everything Bad Is Good for You, says the show's makers "are relying on the amplifying power of the serious hard-core fans, who are 1% of the audience, to broadcast some of these cool little discoveries to perhaps 10% of their audience.

Ernie Colon, a journeyman cartoonist who has worked on countless mainstream comic projects, provides highly competent if not very memorable illustrations. Occasionally his good guy vs. bad guy background seems to unconsciously pop out, such as when he depicts George W. Bush, who stands at 5'11" according to the White House website, as the tallest guy in a room, or when one of the terrorists looks more like he should be searching for his missing chromosome than plotting the single worst attack...
...Undergraduate Council (UC) President John S. Haddock ’07; and Women’s Center Director Susan B. Marine. Students who won tickets at the games were able to cash them in for prizes like DVDs, $200 gift certificates to the Coop and stuffed animals. With pop music blaring in the background, students munched on caramel apples, cotton candy, popcorn, corn dogs, and cheeseburgers as they convened on the grass or on Widener and Memorial Church steps. “I’m just having fun dancing with my roommates,” said Sophie Rengarajan...
