...they were towed back to port past the horn-tooting spectator fleet, and the song rang through Newport all night. Even the cops cheered. "Nobody with an Australian accent goes to jail tonight," announced a local policeman. Said a crew member, amid the debris of Gretel's headquarters pub: "This reminds me of an outback pub at shearing time." Back home, radio stations played a special Gretel Song. The Sydney Sun announced the victory: WILY STURROCK OUTFOXES AMERICANS. And for this one race, at least, Bus Mosbacher was willing to agree. "I should have stayed home," he said...
...paper's hard-hitting editor, Coleman A. Harwell, and brought in Ed ward D. Ball, the Associated Press's Nash ville bureau chief. Silliman Jr. absented himself frequently on extended tours. Ball focused on cutting costs. The paper turned pale and comatose. The Tennessean's pub lisher was probably more embarrassed than pleased when Assistant City Editor John Seigenthaler published a 1956 series on teamster corruption in Tennessee that helped impeach Chattanooga Criminal Court Judge Ralston Schoolfield.

At the Opera House, where a frieze of 2,500 croquet balls ("I got them all for $8." says the proprietor) and mallets decorates the walls, there is Dixieland jazz. The Vanity Fair, a sort of English pub is built mostly from old telephone booths painted red and black. O'Connell's features Irish pipers, who lead customers in impromptu parades up and down the square. Bustles & Bowes has draught beer and sawdusty floors; the Roaring Twenties is an unabashed speakeasy with a high-stepping stage...
...where lived George Emlyn's parents, Richard and Mary. He was a stoker when they married, she a lady's maid in Liverpool. He failed his way through a variety of tiny enterprises, including-for nine of Emlyn's formative years-the operation of a country pub. Dad was at home on either side of a bar, beery, convivial and feckless. Mam was "conventional to the point of defeatism, shy of strangers and painfully conscious of the immorality of spending one penny unless there was a halfpenny behind it." Neither of them was more than barely literate...
