Among other tactics, he used such Western personalities as Sammy Davis Jr. to tout Suntory on TV. Some Suntory salesmen were attacked by knife-wielding chefs outraged at the attempt to Westernize the traditional Japanese cuisine by urging diners to drink Scotch instead of sake. But today millions of homes and almost every bar and restaurant stock at least some of Suntory's 15 brands. In price and quality, they range widely. The pedestrian Torys costs $2.25 a fifth, while Suntory's best, called The Whiskey, goes for a heady $250. Most popular brand: Suntory Old, which retails...
...waiting on a powder keg. To sit here and wait for the catastrophe that's going to happen on that airplane−it's going to be a catastrophe. It almost happened here when the Congressman was nearly killed here. [A cultist had attacked Ryan with a knife.] You can't take off with people's children without expecting a violent reaction.

...does an honorable Englishman comport himself? Deighton's engaging, complex hero, Detective Superintendent Douglas Archer, 30, carries on, tackling the tricky homicide cases for which he is celebrated (the Pimlico bread knife slaying, the Great Yarmouth seafood murder). Now, however, Oxonian Archer and his boozy, street-smart assistant, Detective Sergeant Harry Woods, are working directly under Gruppenführer Fritz Kellerman, senior SS officer and police chief of Great Britain. Unlike his compatriots, the Yard man is free to move around at will in a prewar Railton automobile; he gets German-issue cigarettes, frequent dollops of real Highland Scotch...
