...Perera, the grand old man of the Trotskyite Sri Lanka Equality Party. She replaced him with another member of the clan, Felix Bandaranaike. Explains one observer: "She takes the position, 'What's wrong with giving my brother a job? He can do it perfectly well, and anyway I can trust him.' " No one has suggested, though, that the Bandaranaikes are corrupt...
Stern Limit. Although distillers claim that they are merely responding to a change in consumer preference, they also assert, paradoxically, that most drinkers cannot tell the difference in taste between 86-proof and 80-proof whisky anyway.

...other thing. James Q. Wilson told me that Henry Kissinger had called the day of the announcement and that it hadn't been his usual call--you did hear, didn't you! that Henry has started again on his weekly can-I-still-be-a-professor telephone calls? Anyway, Wilson told me that this call started out the same way--you know, have you found anyone for my chair yet, keep up the good work, etc.,--but that what Henry really wanted to say was, he still hadn't decided what to do with his archives...
