...true survivor, Sevcenko started a long trek west as Germany began to collapse, stop-pint first in Belgium, where in 1949 he earned a second doctorate, again in classical philology at the Catholic University of Louvain...
...billboards around Nottinghamshire, England, were certainly attention grabbers. They asserted that Ronald Reagan has "never had a pint of Mansfield." That was true enough. The President had never even heard of the small, 150-year-old local brew. The ad, with its crafty nonendorsement endorsement, was designed to "provoke intrigue," explains Mansfield Marketing Director Richard Lewis.

...prices can be deceptive. A pint of Baskin-Robbins at $2.35 contains 50% air. Tartufo's gelato at $2.49 has 9% air.

Herrold Henson, a Linotype operator in Florence, seat of Lauderdale, and a former bootlegger ("I used to haul a little"), recalled driving across the Tennessee River to Colbert County, standing outside in line for 45 minutes, buying his fill and sharing with friends a half pint of bourbon in the car on the way home, such was the giddiness here. Before Colbert went wet, people in Florence had to drive 65 miles to the east, to Madison County, to buy a legal drink. In fact, of the 18 counties that constitute north Alabama, only that one was wet. Bringing...
