...YOUNG. In the 16-to-20 age group, acquaintance with abuse of liquor is wider than might be expected: more than other suburban age groups, the young people interviewed know someone who drinks excessively (58%). All this despite the fact that suburban parents do not consider themselves particularly permissive. If parents found their teenager smoking pot, two-thirds would insist that he stop, nearly a third would try to talk him out of it, and only 1% would not interfere. The sentiment for a strict approach to child rearing emerges in other ways. Two-fifths of the parents would insist...
High-Priced Muscle. A onetime merchant seaman who was born in China to American parents, Crum began as a liquor distributor to PXs in Korea in 1950.

To get scarce liquor, dealers thereafter were forced to accept unwanted stocks of wine, which they left to deteriorate along with the growers' reputations...
...Loyal Order of Moose, the Fraternal Order of Eagles and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, all of which admittedly retain whites-only admission policies.* The leading case involves Moose Lodge 107 in Harrisburg, Pa. A federal appeals court has ruled that, by granting the lodge a liquor license, the state has unlawfully supported discrimination. If the decision is upheld, other fraternal lodges and any racially exclusive country clubs that rely on bar profits could be in serious trouble...
