...victory feast was elaborate in the best Japanese manner: wild boar soup, egg roll, raw fish, grilled eel and steaming platters of yakitori (chicken-on-a-stick). But the victory was not as sweet as expected, and the host could be pardoned if his appetite was a bit dull. In the election that preceded last week's "victory dinner" in his garden, Japan's Premier Eisaku Sato won his party's renomination under a cloud of rebuke from more than a third of his Liberal Democratic lieutenants. His victory thus assured him not only of almost automatic...
...Wild Scramble. Another product, Reef, attacks the problem with an equally ridiculous approach. The setting is a party or a convivial cruise. The apéritif is a bottle of Reef. All the gang raise their frosty champagne glasses in a mouthwash toast as the announcer cheers, "So here's to breath [clink!] that's really clean...
...market, and Kaunda and Frei figure that this gives them enough leverage to dictate prices.

"Beeeeyullllll," she squeeee-yulllllls, "yore huh-urrrrrt...
...Fighting Prince of Donenal. Red Hugh O'Donnell, prince of Donegal, was the great Irish hero of the 16th century. At 15, the wild child of the North was such a terror to the English that the viceroy shut him up in Dublin Castle for safekeeping. At 19, he escaped and launched a campaign of impetuous brilliance that drove the British out of Ulster and Connaught. In the next nine years, the O'Donnell and his tall gallo-glavses made Irish stew out of British armies sent against them. Then, while on a mission to the court...
