...honest Wet was more concerned about the future than Commander Fred George Clark of the Crusaders. The Clark doctrine is that the liquor problem has three sides-the Wet side, the Dry side, the Right side. Last month he sent a telegram to Wet and Dry organizations saying that the return of beer presented a situation which would lead either to true temperance or to the return of the "liquor trade" and the saloon. He wanted cooperation in a nationwide campaign for socially constructive liquor laws...
...definitive answers to which President Roosevelt had to look to the Supreme Court. Major paradox: the new law assumes that 3.2% beer is no more intoxicating than ginger ale, yet the Federal Government stands pledged to protect from importations any State that assumes otherwise. A brewer in a Wet State may start to ship his product through a Dry State to another Wet State, only to have the Dry State confiscate his freight as intoxicating and call upon the Federal Government to prosecute him. But the brewer could also appeal to the LT. S. on the ground that...

The National Park Service was ready to allow beer sales only in Wet states. The Post Office Department ruled that brewers could start their advertising campaigns immediately, provided they did not give the impression of offering premature sales...

Against Bolivia's German management, Paraguayans had French-trained Jose Estigarribia. Retreating, they left cemeteries on whose fast-rotting headboards were names of Russian officers. General Kundt's objective...
...things should be around the Square after repeal. In the matter of public drinking he acknowledges his debt to German and English sources: there ought to be at least one Biergarten, right in the heart of things, which might have to be closed-in from the wet and cold of the New England winter, but which, in spring, would expand luxuriously onto the sidewalk with its tables and chairs. To achieve the most pleasant contrast, he hopes it would be located next door to some particularly staid establishment, like the Harvard Trust. For those who want beverage without food, however...
