...with the Loaf of Bread-and Thou, substitute Bag (for the Jug, that is). Instead of bottling their vintages in conventional glass, nearly two dozen California wine makers, including Almaden and Geyser Peak, are putting up bulk wines in four-ply plastic film bags equipped with patented on-off spout valves. Sometimes cunningly encased in cardboard kegs, the bags are cheaper than bottles, as well as easier to ship and store. The pioneering Scholle Corp. of Northlake, Ill., which claims that its bags keep wine safely for nine months, is already unable to meet demand. But do not throw away...

Frank Collin, 33, is a swaggering bullyboy who likes to dress up in a Nazi uniform, spout totalitarian dogma and howl racial slurs. Aryeh Neier, 41, the son of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany, runs the American Civil Liberties Union, an organization that protects individual freedoms. For the past 14 months, Neier and the A.C.L.U. have defended the right of Collin and a small band of brownshirts to taunt the citizens of Skokie, Ill., thousands of whom are survivors of Nazi death camps...

...have cheaper and more accessible care for his "illnesses." But Angelique loves Cleante and refuses her father's command to marry the odious son of M. Diafoirus, Thomas (Randy Clark and Samuel Krisch). Thomas and his father are replete with useless "university" knowledge which they spout without even understanding. They are utter quacks, ordering Argan to put grains of salt on his eggs in even numbers, and take pills in odd numbered quantities...

...human heads,and they were created in the 6th and 5th centuries B.C. when Greek influence on Thracian art was strongest. One golden rhyton is decorated with reliefs of Hera, Artemis and Apollo around the rim and a billy goat at the base--the wine gushes from a spout in the goat's chest so one has to drain it all down at once...
