 Does FT have a "price club card" that you have to have scanned to get the 
 better price? Stop n Shop, Pathmark, Food Dynasty and others have these. 
 Of course, you NEVER give your real name and addy when applying for one 
 of these cards! ;-)

 "We should not march into Baghdad. To occupy Iraq would 
 instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab 
 world against us and make a broken tyrant into a latter- 
 day Arab hero. Assigning young soldiers to a fruitless 
 hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning 
 them to fight in what would be an unwinable urban guerilla 
 war, it could only plunge that part of the world into ever 
 greater instability."
