...Manhattan's Rockefeller Center. It is not a pub that any Irishman would recognize but, as Restaurant & Waldorf Associates puts it, "the kind of pub an Irishman might like to open if he came to New York."

Africans consider Guinness a potent aphrodisiac, something that has never frightened the Irish...
...this brutal and senseless real-life event Truman Capote has built his latest book. It would be hard to imagine a more implausible crime reporter. Though Capote had ventured into non-fiction before, his reputation had been secured by short novels (The Grass Harp, Breakfast at Tiffany's) and stories of such delicacy that their wispy author has been called, among many other things, "the last of the old-fashioned Valentine makers...
