...object of that foaming frenzy is Coors Banquet Beer, brewed from the waters of the 70 to 80 springs around Golden, Colo., 15 miles west of Denver. Unlike most U.S. beers, Coors contains no preservatives or stabilizers and is not pasteurized; if left unrefrigerated and allowed to get warm, it will spoil in a week. It is probably the only beer that is kept cold from the brewery to the customer. But its lack of additives and its brewing process greatly enhance its taste. For many connoisseurs, Coors is the Château Haut-Brion of American beers; to their...

Keeler is now under investigation for authorizing an illegal corporate donation to the Committee for the Re-Election...
...Banquet Toast. For Kissinger, as for the Chinese, the prime purpose of the latest get-together was to discuss further improvement of relations rather than inaugurate any new policies. In a banquet toast, Kissinger pledged to "speed the progress toward normalization of relations with China." He also assured Chou, in a veiled reference to the possible outcome of Watergate, that "whatever happens in the future and whatever the Administration," the U.S. will remain friendly. Inevitably there was speculation that Kissinger's visit might culminate in resumption of full diplomatic relations. Chou, however, reminded reporters that Peking is opposed...
