...ladies' specialty shops. From the estate of William Randolph Hearst, he has purchased a 95-ft.-long oak-paneled gallery, said to have been designed by Inigo Jones and built by Queen Elizabeth I for her Ambassador to France, and installed it in The Cannery's English Pub...
...course, the pubs have paid a price. Hundreds of them reported a sharp drop in business, running in some cases to as much as 30% to 40%. Brewers reported an overall decline in sales of only 4% to 6%, indicating that much of the pubs' losses went to home consumption of alcohol.

A song like the traditional Weila Waile, which the Clancys turn into a laff riot, comes off in The Dubliners' brawny hands as the grisly epic of infanticide that it actually is. The often sentimentalized Rising of the Moon becomes in the Dubliners' ver sion a powerful, harrowing hymn of revolutionary heroism...
