...world's dealers had to offer-Italian sporting rifles, ancient Mausers, nickel-plated revolvers, Springfields, Garands and carbines. Delivered, they cost an average of $1,000 each. Castro handled each munitions shipment with care and glee before passing it on to new recruits. "Bullets come by vintages, like wine," he explained, "especially Latin American bullets. Mexican '55 is a good year, '52 not so good...
...writing stints (Around the World in 80 Days). Most of Malice enmeshed Dr. Randolph Kalbfus (Keenan Wynn) an innocent Manhattan psychoanalyst who goes to Hollywood as technical adviser on psychological movies.

And yet that ancient rocker, tendriled like a vine from the wine-heavy hills around Vienna, had a brisk, bald-bottomed rival in Charles Eames's up-to-the-minute en try in molded Fiberglas and wire. An art nouveau desk (circa 1903) by Hector Guimard that looked as sinuous as weeds under water held its place against a rigorously rectilinear...

In the basement a darkened wine cellar moulds away in the blackness, straight out of Poe, but without the benefit of wine...
