Bartenders everywhere are pensive skittery. At the Moon Shadow Saloon in Atlanta, they are showing Three Stooges tapes on Monday nights. Elsewhere in town there will be no more "happy hours" at Copperfield's until the games come back on TV. But this victory for temperance will not be celebrated by churches everywhere. "We are very disappointed," says Father Douglas Eberly, rector of the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Mesquite, Texas. Through selling nachos, hamburgers and hot dogs at the Cowboys games, his congregation has raised $60,000 toward the construction of a parish hall, which parishioners call...

Although McGuane, 42, moved to Livingston, Mont., in 1968, he has not mined...
...musicians are not at all faxed by the less-than-rollicking atmosphere in this very ordinary Somerville saloon. Down in front of the stage, the people who've just got to move to the beat are failing about, but no one comes close to bumping into anyone else. Guitarist Roger Miller blasts out thick, distorted chords, one piled on top of another for a sound that is at once 1969 techno-pop. Sound man Martin Swope stoops over a mixing board near the back of the dance floor, recording Miller's efforts, scrambling things around, and then feeding the whole...
