Using levels can be effective at times, but it's usefulness is also 
much more limited than pulling curves. Auto Levels can work well (it 
is very good for removing haze from a photo),  but it can also work 
badly. Auto Color can work remarkably well a good percentage of the 
time, however. For the best description of how to do color 
correction, check out Michael Kieran's book, "Photoshop Color 
Correction", Peachpit Press. His chapter on how to use curves is 
excellent, and there are very good techniques for a wide variety of 
color correction situations.
