With the holiday season here, Cambridge shops are full of ideas for Christmas gift-giving. Adele Bragar thinks her Scotch mohair scarf, in either a solid color or plaid, makes an exciting present. She is featuring Siamese silk and Kashmiri silk scarves, too, as well as imported jewelry from Mexico, India, and Spain with many, many items under $5. You can pick up your fake Persian lamb hat which is being seen all over this season for only $4 at Adele Bragar...
Beirut by paying $25 for a $1 shot of Scotch. Mansour's father, King Saud, 60, communes with his concubines four times a day: before morning prayers, after lunch, before dinner, and at night. Saud, apparently frightened of a Yemen-style coup, has for weeks slept each night in a different bedroom of his palace. He has put top military men under house arrest, is surrounded by 200 of Hussein's Jordanian guards, dressed in Saudi uniforms, because he considers them more reliable than his own Saudis. His air force has been grounded since September, when seven pilots...
While the reforms were most loudly welcomed by rod-spared schoolchildren, they also stirred joy in English pubs, where a "single" Scotch or gin is usually one-sixth of a gill-barely enough, Britons grumble, to wet the glass. Henceforth, pubs will be allowed to dispense one-sixth, one-fifth or one-fourth of a gill.* But will be forced to display a sign saying clearly which measure they use. The greatest spur to thoroughgoing reform will undoubtedly be British membership in the European Common Market. In time, Englishmen may even order their mild-and-bitter by the liter...
...marks behind: Roman baths in Britain, Moorish palaces in Spain, whisky in Japan. Last year Japanese distilleries produced 9,000,000 gallons of whisky-two-thirds of which flowed from Kotobukiya, the country's oldest and largest distiller. Kotobukiya's prestige brew is "Old Suntory," a light, Scotch-type whisky that derives its musky flavor partly from imported Scottish peat and partly from Japanese water purified by filtering through lava beds. Old Suntory is palatable enough that Kotobukiya now exports it to 20 countries. But, says President Keizo Saji, 43, "our main market will always be Japan...
Came the G.I.s. When they wanted something stronger than beer, Kotobukiya was waiting for them. Soon the Japanese, emulating their conquerors, began to say kanpai (cheers) over Scotch and soda. Out flowed 86-proof Old Suntory, now $4.50 a fifth. For undemanding palates, Kotobukiya also puts out 74-proof Torys, a throat burner that sells for 85? a near fifth (21.6 fluid oz.). Last year Kotobukiya Ltd. bottled 6,000.000 gallons of Suntory and Torys, had profits of $5.5 million on sales of $66 million. This year it expects a gross of $75 million...
