...drinker sucks the lime, licks the salt from the back of his thumb, and only then tosses back the tequila. Número uno for the American tequila fans is the Margarita, a cocktail made with lime juice, Cointreau or Triple Sec and tequila, all poured over shaved ice and served in a frosty glass rimmed with salt. To push tequila into the really big time, the drink's backers have thought up more than 40 different recipes, including a Gringolet (with lime juice) and Brave Bull (with Kahlua).

Reynolds was stymied not only by the black v. white impasse but more importantly by Memphis Mayor Henry Loeb's adamant refusal to grant a payroll checkoff for union dues. How did Reynolds break the ice? By using the Federal Credit Union, which is employee-owned but federally administered.
