...their discretion. To make bad go to worse, the mugs were sold on noon last Wednesday—smack in the middle of classes—with scant publicity. Funding is understandably a constraint—the Upper Hall mugs sold for $50 for the year, but if one drank as much beer as possible (under Pub rules) they would be worth about $300. And the funding comes from an anonymous donor whose gift is presumably limited. Nevertheless, this year’s distribution system was arbitrary and inequitable. Several alternatives are far superior. One option would involve a rotational...
...visits to Ba, the sugar district that first elected Chaudhry to Parliament. Lodging with cane grower Dharmen Kumar, Connew followed him and his neighbors as they cut cane; hauled it to the mill on old Ford trucks; tended cows, goats and grandchildren; made puja devotions; watched Hindu movies; and drank kava, the traditional Fijian narcotic. The result is Stopover, whose 60 superbly printed black-and-white photographs are on show in Wellington until...
MADELEINE AND HER SIBLINGS WERE ALONE in their room while Kate and Gerry ate and drank with seven friends.

Embarrassment-wise, CBS is only lucky that the cast is by definition too young to have DUI histories...
...that sense of team spirit and togetherness--called soshikiryoku--that many Japanese corporations are trying to rekindle. Up to a generation ago, college grads entered companies en masse, lived together, drank together, quite often married one another and retired together. This close-knit culture, which was virtually national labor policy, was widely credited for Japan's meteoric rise. But it all ended when the country hit the skids in the 1990s. Threatened by cheap labor and more efficient business models, Japanese companies began adopting American management concepts such as merit-based pay and job competition. "The Japanese equated globalism with...
