...traditional gifts presented to Pope Paul during the Vatican rites will include candles, bread and wine from areas where Neumann ministered, and a scale model of a school he founded. Another gift will be clothing to be donated to a needy family, signifying that Neumann gave away much of his personal clothing, food and money to the poor. Because of this, the most fitting tribute for America's new saint is a description of his crowded 1860 funeral, written with Main Line disdain in the Philadelphia Bulletin: "The chances of pickpockets were superior, had the pickings been desirable...
...married, a veteran. He and his wife and newborn child lived in a small apartment off Central Square, below street level. There was children's wash hanging in the living room, which was moved for the occasion to the kitchen. Some old furniture. School books. Our host served wine from a huge dusty jug, itself an idiosyncratic and mature thing to be doing in those days. We had dinner, some sort of casserole. Talk. More wine. We listened to our host's Dixieland records. His wife tended the baby, smoked cigarettes, sometimes laughed, looked tall amd tired. All I could...

Americans still drink up 2.69 gallons of booze per capita annually and spend more than $30 billion a year on alcohol, but hard-liquor drinking appears to be declining. If yummy highs continue to be the vogue, liquor dealers' shelves should be loaded with creme de strawberry and tutti-frutti vodkas for some time to come...
...good company," gloated Abstract Expressionist Robert Motherwell. As the latest artist to create a wine label for the renowned French vintner Baron Philippe de Rothschild, 75, Motherwell joined the ranks of Picasso, Chagall, Miro and Braque. Titled Les Caves (the wine cellars), his design is a "primordial image," he explained as he signed and numbered the labels on a dozen bottles of 1974 Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Manhattan. "Chagall and Braque did joyful symbols, but I have a much deeper feeling about wine," said Motherwell, who received 16 cases of Mouton (approximate value: $5,000) for his labors...
