WILL THE DISINVESTMENT by the transnationals hurt and hinder efforts at change? The references to the rising Lager mentality whereby South Africans draw the wagons round themselves and dig in for stubborn defense is almost certainly true. But it ought by now be very clear that the pressure white South Africa feels comes primarily from inside, from the vigorous efforts at liberation by the oppressed Black majority. The removal of investments and the disengagement from the economy of South Africa, just reminds white South Africa's governmental leadership that they cannot expect aid and comfort from abroad...
Another drinking place for foreign beer lovers is the Wursthaus (4 JFK St.). Here you can choose from an assortment of up to 200 beers. This was one of the first places to introduce the now famous--at least around here--Samuel Adams lager, named after the great brewer/patriot. The Wursthaus also serves food and if you're lucky you'll catch a rare sighting of President Derek C. Bok drinking coffee early in the morning...
Coors's sales have declined every year since the boycott began in 1977. Before the boycott, Coors had only one brand of beer. Now it has five--Coors, Coors Light, Herman Joseph 1868, Golden Lager, and Killian's Irish Red. In 1977 Coors sold 14 million barrels of beer in 11 states.

But he cannot help hearing the hell raised by garbage trucks between 4 and 5 in the morning, cannot really swallow the harsher barbarities of New York fad cuisine ("fillet of hake in lager and cranberry sauce . . . roast baby pigeons in fresh grapefruit nests"). When city smarts are called for, Henderson loses his nerve. Convinced that he is being attacked on a dark street, he flings his wallet and credit cards to the sidewalk and injures his knees as he runs away. The "muggers...
...unofficial thirst quencher of the convention will be Anchor Steam beer, a locally produced suds that will be handed out gratis to delegates and visitors, gavel to gavel. Few takers are likely to mistake it for their steady brew. In a nation where the major beer brands are lager light and getting lighter, Anchor Steam turns out a product that is dark, dense and slightly bitter. It is the antithesis of what Brewer Fritz Maytag, a scion of the washing-machine family, calls "lawnmower beers." Some authorities, not all of them locals, call it the best beer brewed in America...
