...Atlantic. It plays unabashedly on the chauvinism of U.S. Irishmen. "We try," says one executive, "to fit the image Americans have of the Irish." Fattening the image, creamy-cheeked stewardesses in heather-flecked tweeds or linens welcome passengers aboard "shamrock flights." They feed them in first class on Royal Tara china with such delicacies as grilled Liffey salmon steaks, Irish coffee and Guinness stout. All the while, Irish jigs frolic over the intercom and the captain communicates in a bog-thickened brogue.

Cynical Hindus were appraising Tara Singh's remarkable staying powers with sly references to chicken broth. But Masterji, who had been examined by eminently neutral doctors, was reported to be drinking only saline water. Bulletins on his rapidly weakening condition were issued twice daily at the Golden Temple.
