...sunny resort village of Lake George, N.Y. (pop. 1,026), every tavern and roadhouse was doing S.R.O. business. Then, when the bars closed at 3 o'clock on Labor Day morning, 1,500 college students poured out on Lake George's main street, singing, yelling and tossing beer cans. Alerted to the danger, police and volunteer firemen blockaded the street, finally dispersed the rioters with jets of water from fire-truck hoses. That night 60 beer-filled students, many in their teens, were arrested...
...Want Booze." What happened at Lake George happened, in varying degrees of violence, in dozens of cities, towns and resort centers across the U.S. last week. At Ocean City, Md., police used K-9 dogs to break up a mob of 2,000 beer-swilling students. Many had come to town with mischief aforethought: their cars bore signs that read, "Fill Your Flask and Come to the Second Annual Ocean City Riot." At Wildwood, N.J., where merrymaking teen-agers did $1,500 worth of damage to one hotel, police arrested 160 over the weekend, imposed $6,000 worth of fines...

Priced slightly higher than regular beers ($1.17 in New York City for a six-pack of 12-oz. bottles or cans), Red Letter contains fewer than 100 calories per 12 oz. (v. 150-170 in other beers). The reduction in calories results not so much from a slight drop...
Undaunted, Zanuck continues to press on with his stupefying re-creation of the most dramatic hours of the European war. Operating out of a blue-striped field headquarters tent, the Supremo has gone on the wagon for the duration, strictly limiting himself to an occasional bottle of beer, to set a solid example for his troupers. Cigar set grimly between his teeth, he takes to the air in a little French Alouette helicopter, zipping back and forth between production units, letting his men see their leader taking risks. He frankly admits that his "filmization" will often mow down the facts...
