When a student is overheard planning an evening trip to Grafton, it is a pretty safe bet that he or she is in search of a screwdriver rather than grilled swordfish.

HOLD THE TUNA An FDA advisory panel has urged the agency to warn pregnant women to limit the amount of canned tuna they eat because it contains mercury, which can harm the nervous system of an unborn child. (Last year the FDA advised pregnant women not to eat shark, swordfish, king mackerel or tilefish, but it did not include tuna on the list.)
