Heat with Peat. When Sinn Fein broke apart, young Lemass was the chief architect of De Valera's new Fianna Fail (Heroes of Destiny) Party, which came to power in 1932 and has been in office almost continually ever since. At 32, Lemass was the youngest member of De Valera's Cabinet and earned the affectionate Biblical sobriquet "Benjamin" (after Jacob's youngest son). Though Dev had taught mathematics-and is fervently believed by many fond compatriots to be one of the 13 men on earth who comprehend the theory of relativity-the Taoiseach had neither head...
...spews through John Millington Synge's 1907 comedy. Such talk has not been heard since the poets of the Dingle Bay, and it very nearly keeps this straightforward and modest little film version of Playboy out of trouble. But trouble there is. Siobhan McKenna, for all her gloriously peat boggy voice and her fine face with its mouth shaped like a shamrock leaf, is 20 years too old to be playing the fiery-tempered Pegeen opposite the likes of boyish Gary Raymond.

The swamp once covered 1,500 sq. mi. But modern civilization's bulldozers have cut it down to some 600 sq. mi. Now even to the Great Dismal Swamp comes the forward tread of split-levelism...
...Japan. Last year Japanese distilleries produced 9,000,000 gallons of whisky-two-thirds of which flowed from Kotobukiya, the country's oldest and largest distiller. Kotobukiya's prestige brew is "Old Suntory," a light, Scotch-type whisky that derives its musky flavor partly from imported Scottish peat and partly from Japanese water purified by filtering through lava beds. Old Suntory is palatable enough that Kotobukiya now exports it to 20 countries. But, says President Keizo Saji, 43, "our main market will always be Japan. We are aiming at our own people to become somewhat of an institution...
