...Cornerstone of the financial and industrial empire of Financier Edward Plunket Taylor, it has not only grabbed a commanding 47% of the Canadian market, but has also pushed its brew from 62nd to fourth place in the U.S. since 1949. It has moved into England, Scotland and Ireland by buying control of local companies, now stands among Britain's top three in lager beer.

...series, Powell picks up the life of Nicholas Jenkins, his all-seeing narrator, shortly after the outbreak of World War II; it ends about a year later after the fall of Dunkirk. At 35, Old Etonian Nick is a somewhat overage second lieutenant assigned to backwater posts in Ireland and Wales, where he passes his time studying anti-gas warfare and reading Thackeray's Henry Esmond. The shooting war, which largely flows past him, interests Powell less than its effects on the worm-eaten aristocrats and upper-middle-class English men and women who inhabit his fictional world...

"There is nothing comparable to putting in this wind," he said. "Let me tell you something about golf-it's a humbling game." The nicest thing anybody could say about the second day was that...
...Ferraris finished one-two-three, giving old Enzo Ferrari a record fifth straight Le Mans victory. >Santa Claus: the l½-mile Irish Sweeps Derby by a lazy-loping four lengths, making him the first horse in history to capture both the English and Irish Derbies; in Curragh, Ireland. A 4-7 favorite, the three-year-old colt watched the rest of the field run away at the gate, was third from last in the 19-horse field after the first two furlongs, then easily swept into the lead with a furlong-and-a-half...
