...people who are interested in American drinking habits-and enjoy arguments about statistics-the latest edition of the liquor industry's Handbook brought some more or less momentous information. The bourbons still reign over all (two to one over Scotch), but vodka, the biggest new "white liquor," passed gin last year, 12.9 million to 12.4 million cases. The Handbook's charts show that vodka hasn't a chance until 1973, if then. Then there's rum. Terrific growth-up 54% in the past five years...

It is tequila, the distinctive Mexican cactus liquor that mingles lazily-but with a powerful wallop-with all kinds of ingredients.

...organizations have much in common. Both adhere to a Calvinist theology and are cautiously conservative on such social issues as black equality. The Southern Presbyterians were formed at the outbreak of the Civil War; membership in the church is almost entirely white, and its pastorate is largely traditionalist in outlook. The Reformed Church-many of its oldest congregations are still known as Dutch Reformed-is strong in the East and Midwest, also has a predominantly white, middle-class membership. If the union is approved, the logical next step would be merger with the 3.3 million-member, liberal United Presbyterian Church...
...urban decay and soaring annual deficits, a strapped city hall felt compelled to place the hospital's money requests far behind other needs, such as schools, slum demolition and downtown renewal. Three years ago, the hospital's accreditation was put on probation. Still, newly installed Mayor Kevin White, who has switched the emphasis to low-income housing and neighborhood improvement, reluctantly cut $6,000,000 from this year's $36 million hospital budget...
