...yellow legal pad, and he questioned me. He asked about the dates, where the hospitals were. The four of us talked till like 9:15. He said, "Why don't we bring over some of our people?" I said, "I don't want a whole army." He said, "I'll bring over Mankiewicz and Dick Dougherty. Why don't you bring over two of your guys?" So that made a group of eight.

On that day last week, having aged the required four years, the first batch of light whiskey-a new kind of spirit that goes down more smoothly and has less flavor than bourbon or rye-could legally be brought out of the barrel and bottled for sale.
