...Schenley, whose 1966 sales of $478 million were only 2% greater than in 1957. Once the leading U.S. distiller, Schenley was overtaken by aggressive Distillers Corp.-Seagrams after the war. None of its leading brands (among them: Schenley Reserve blended whisky, Dewar's Scotch, I. W. Harper bourbon) are now the top sellers in their fields...
...five-year career as an elected official, Jim Garrison, 45, the larger-than-life (6 ft. 6 in.) district attorney of New Orleans, has tilted at windmills and gin mills, chastened Bourbon Street's once-famed B-girls, scourged the judiciary and battled with the mayor.

Autumn leaves begin dappling the script; Preston and Martin, grey-wigged, pat the familiar bed farewell...

Many Congressmen believe that keeping a member out really punishes his constituents by depriving them of a voice, and Powell's velvety, bourbon-cured baritone is clearly the voice that pleases Harlem's voters. In November, though aware of his defiance of the courts, they gave him a twelfth term with 74% of the vote. To them, "Old Adam," preacher, politician and perennial bon vivant, is a supremely satisfying symbol-a Negro...
