...Sad Truth." This fall the flabbergasted Irish whisky industry begins a campaign to put Irish coffee on the menus of bars and restaurants all over the U.S. But the men who introduced the drink to America, Bartender Joe Sheridan and Columnist Stan Delaplane, will not be part of the campaign. Joe Sheridan, who left Ireland and drifted to Canada, Hawaii and finally, by sheer coincidence, to San Francisco, cannot stand to even look at the drink any more. Instead of taking a place of honor he has been offered behind the bar at the Buena Vista, he works...

While most newsmen applauded the efforts of the new Trib's bosses to strike out on their own, the applause was tempered by some regret.

Mostly, the cast is one that Homer might have approved. In her revealing classical finery, Silvana Mangano is as provocative and enticing as a Tanagra figurine. Rossana Podesta plays the abandoned Nausicaä with all the sad airs and graces of a bereft princess. In the role of Penelope's leading suitor, Anthony Quinn shows a wily nobility, and young Franco Interlenghi as Ulysses' son gives real substance to his role of a stubborn adolescent. Kirk Douglas is more at home in the acrobatics of his part than in its subtleties, and occasionally seems tempted to reach...
