...city has changed its policy," said Martin J. Connealy, manager of the Harvard Provision Co. liquor store. "Up until now, it was always our responsibility. Now, they're putting more emphasis on making minors suffer...
...Liquor wasn't too crude a subject for one of the acknowledged pillars of modern American literature-nor is it for one of the, admittedly less-acknowledged, bastions of American "white trash garage rock" Southern Culture on the Skids. Faulkner learned to drink in Mississippi, and Southern Culture "learned to dance" (albeit somewhat woozily) in the same place, as one of the songs of their newly released album, Liquored Up and Laquered Down, proudly proclaims.

Bush has talked about what prompted him to lock the liquor cabinet when he turned 40. Gore may have lost his sister to cancer and almost lost his son to a car accident, but he rarely comes across as vulnerable. He's still the hard-working student once trotted out by his parents to please the grownup guests. It's harder...
