...drinks generally provide a clue to the changing public palate, and today's In concoctions indicate a trend toward blandness: the Dirty Mother (brandy and Kahlua, a liqueur that tastes like sweetened coffee), the Half-and-Half (half Scotch and half milk or cream), the My Diane (gin and cordials with orange juice and coconut milk) and such relatively innocuous favorites as Dubonnet on the rocks and Campari and soda. Today a bar must carry 50% more brands and be prepared to make a 100% greater assortment of drinks than ten years...
...certainly has been a big help to London's Sunday newspapers. For five straight weeks the Sunday Times and the Observer have battled to see which could produce the most titillating details about the master spy. What did Philby like to drink? (Raki, a Turkish liqueur.) What were his favorite jokes? (Dirty.) Why did he stammer? (Suppressed violence.)

In a series of firefights, the Viet Cong death toll had risen to 49 by week...
...Manhattan's new Fountain Cafe in Central Park. And, though it really caught on in Paris only this summer, a surprising number of U.S. bartenders have already learned to whip up "un Kir": a mixture of dry white wine and crème de cassis (black-currant liqueur), named for Canon Felix Kir, who also doubles as the Mayor of Dijon. So far, mercifully, returning American tourists have resisted importing one new drink that has already swept Italy and has become the standard order at Sibylla's, London's swingingest discotheque. The mix: Scotch and Coca-Cola...
