...Hanlon fulminates be cause he clearly loves his former coun trymen and women. He is too much the Irishman himself not to revel in the ver bal excitement of Dublin life and its "maddening, entertaining stew of provincial chauvinism." Inevitably, his book is crammed with old-chestnut anecdotes, pub gossip "laced with the in toxicating ingredient of malice," and sharp observations. Most of these, also inevitably, take a dying fall: the slipshod car-assembly center in Cork that turns out "lemons (or limes)"; those ash trays proudly bearing the Gaelic legend, Deanta sa tSeapain (Made in Japan...

Of the five I.R.A. terrorist cells that the British believe are operating in England-two in London and three in the Midlands cities of Birmingham, Luton and Coventry -authorities think that one and perhaps two have been broken...
James Shanahan, vice president of Americana Hotels, feeds his nine-year-old dachshund, Clancy, filet of chicken topped off with a nip of Courvoisier. At night, before retiring to his own king-size bed, Clancy, in one of his 16 sweaters, trots over to the neighborhood pub, installs himself on a barstool and downs several vodka-and-creme de menthe nightcaps, considerately served up in a bowl. According to doting Owner Shanahan, Clancy is also "a great vocalizer and sings Happy Birthday to You all the way through." His principal charm, says Shanahan, is that "he has a broken tail...
