...along with some 100 other spirits. To woo the yuppie sweet tooth, many distillers are marketing unusual-flavor drinks much lower than liquor in alcohol content. Bailey's Original Irish Cream Liqueur (whiskey, chocolate and cream) and Hublein's Long Island Iced Tea (vodka, gin, tequila, rum and triple sec) are successful examples...
Defense Lawyer Robert B. Fiske Jr. argued that the letters on Thayer's behalf showed that his criminal conduct was "an aberration."

The lawyers asked the 73-year-old spaghetti maker to forthwith stop using the 26-year...
...than I ever did before." Last year Boston achieved its 15th world championship, and Bird was the MVP of the tournament as well as the season. In the final seven-game play- off, the Lakers won the first in Boston and appeared to have taken the second --with 15 sec. left, Los Angeles held both the lead and the ball--only to blink and lose in overtime. Following a 33-point Laker romp in game 3, Bird referred to the Celtics as sissies, and in the singular episode of the fourth game, McHale ran over Los Angeles Forward Kurt Rambis...
