...poor playwriting that can be applied to dramas like East Wind is the liquidity test. Every superfluous drink the characters sip and guzzle is a time-killing, plot-evading device for shuffling people around a stage. In East Wind the characters down pots and pots of tea with lager chasers, and it takes very steady nerves just to watch it. In the leading role, George Voskovec acts well above and beyond the call of duty. Considering the quality of the play, his reluctance to commit suicide is a marvel of forbearance...
...Francis Benjamin Guinness, Viscount Elveden, 28, the sixth Guinness to run the company, was able to announce a $15.5 million profit, nearly double Guinness' earnings ten years ago. Other nations, in addition, are picking up the Irish sense of obligation. Guinness and the company's newer Harp Lager are now marketed the world over; more than $20 million worth is exported annually. Between exports and Guinness brewed in three overseas plants, 5,000,000 pints a day are downed globally.

When rivers in the U.S. and Europe began to billow with evil-looking foam and tap water frothed like lager beer, the blame was quickly pinned on the synthetic detergents in modern cleaning agents. They wash shirts gleaming white and they make dishes shine, but the bacteria that swarm in soil and sewage do not eat them with the same appetite they have for old-fashioned soap. Rejected by the bugs, the detergents sweep through sewage plants and seep out of septic tanks into the ground water. They are not poisonous, but who likes creamy froth on his drinking...
...housewives started dunking the family's dirty clothes and dishes in synthetic detergents, the nation's sewers have been swamped by an expanding flow of foam. Down the drainpipe, on through the sewage-disposal plant, the synthetic cleaners keep right on bubbling until contaminated rivers froth like lager beer. No matter what tricks they have tried, sanitary engineers have had small success in keeping the troublesome bubbles down. Egyptian-born Chemical Engineer Ibrahim Abdulla Eldib now insists that the best solution is to help the stuff foam...
