...hurl myself into the breach in defense of Paul Ricard, inventor of the finest drink since sour mash [Feb. 25]. Your reporter, probably an undercover man for the W.C.T.U., has slandered the drinking man's Thomas Edison in saying that ice added to Ricard's pastis turns the licorice into a gooey glob. I modestly claim the record for annual consumption by an American of this delightful brew, and have yet to find a single glob in any of my well-iced drinks.

Last week the White House announced that the budget for fiscal 1967 will probably be somewhere between $110 billion and $115 billion, a breach of the magic $100 billion figure and a much greater rise over this year's announced $99.7 billion than most people had expected.
