...When we started playing, man, they forgot all about Viet Nam." It was Jazz Pianist Earl ("Fatha") Mines crooning as he and his cool, cool sextet finished up a six-week gig around Russia. After inviting them, the Soviet government did everything it could think of to mash the smash-even going so far as to cancel scheduled performances in Moscow and Leningrad. Hines and his boys found plenty of cats in the boondocks, playing to S.R.O. crowds. "Jazz is happiness," grinned Fatha. "I know the Russians don't have much to smile about, but after they heard...
...been one of the Brown brothers' chief lieutenants in the one area where their taste is as sharp as it is for bourbon: profits. By sticking with such high-quality, wide-profit-margin labels as Early Times and Jack Daniel's Old Time Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey, the company has prospered even in an industry dominated by such behemoths as Seagram (1965 sales: $1 billion). With sales of $154 million for the twelve months that ended in April, Brown-Forman distilled record profits of $10.3 million...
...Mash & Mutuality. Saving a federal defender's time and effort, DePaul Law Students Jay Shapiro and Larry Gabriel recently tackled the case of a Puerto Rican moonshiner.

Your reporter, probably an undercover man for the W.C.T.U., has slandered the drinking man's Thomas Edison in saying that ice added to Ricard's pastis turns the licorice into a gooey glob. I modestly claim the record for annual consumption by an American of this delightful brew, and have yet to find a single glob in any of my well-iced drinks. Retract your calumny against this benefactor of mankind...
...kidding themselves when they claim that they can taste the difference between competing brands of liquor. Moreover, though most people can taste the difference between Scotch and bourbon on the first drink, Bishop claims that most bourbon drinkers cannot distinguish between different types of bourbon (straight, charcoal-filtered, sour-mash) after the second drink. After the third, he says, they cannot tell bourbon from Canadian rye, and after the fourth they cannot distinguish bourbon from Scotch. After the fifth, presumably, they couldn't care less. Bishop also adds a note on something that many a hard-pressed host...
