...Dewar's or Wild Turkey. Catching their eye means selling at bars; bars in turn influence retailers. That's why the bar show is a must for firms like White Rock Distilleries of Lewiston, Maine, which flogs such novelties as schnapps in flavors called Poison (Wild Berry) and Sting (Sour Raspberry). Because the slogan for the new line is Have You Had Your Shots Today?, samples are served by statuesque blonds in white-vinyl nurse uniforms and thigh-high stockings. The visual becomes even more apt after a slug of Poison, which tastes almost exactly like paregoric...
Next Big Things come and go--remember dry beer, "malternative" beverages and low-cal cream liqueurs?--but the industry has very high hopes for one ongoing craze: from chocolate vodka to tequila-and-lime-spiked rum to sour-raspberry schnapps, flavored spirits are multiplying like empty shot glasses on a 21st birthday.

Chavez recalls Noam Chomsky’s recent speech at the Forum, when the IOP struggled to find someone willing to provide an introduction for the liberal’s liberal and MIT linguist. After former Secretary of Agriculture and IOP Director Dan Glickman finally complied, things quickly turned sour: the two men began to debate Vietnam-era policies and bicker about youth involvement in politics in the living room. According to Chavez, Glickman nearly refused to introduce Chomsky. Eventually, Glickman’s job description got the better of him and he welcomed Chomsky before the Forum...
