...frosted bottle. Shapiro carries the scene to its ruthlessly realistic and quite hilarious conclusion. One guy, who seems to be just easing out of a day driving the No. 4 bus, decks a well-groomed type in a flowered shirt. The whole bar erupts, the virtues of malt and macho are duly celebrated, and the place looks like Pork Chop Hill at the fadeout...
Jukeboxes have filled American honky-tonks, malt shops and ears for decades, inspiring songs ("Put an-other nickel in, in the nick-el-o-de-on"), and even a modest treasury of jokes (Sample: Two Martians sidle up to a glittering jukebox in a saloon and purr, "What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?").

What comes out is mellow and soft; yet what I try to achieve is an 'edge...
...sons (both of whom have served short jail sentences for making illegal whisky) begin with a 25-lb. sack of corn meal, which they scald and pour into a large wooden box. When the mash cools, they add a peck of ground sprouted malt corn and fill the box half full with water. Then they add 50 Ibs. of granulated sugar, fill the box to the top with water, cover it with a pan to keep prowling animals out, and let it sit for six days. By then the mixture, known as "still beer," is ready to run. Says...
