...show up in an Irish bar on St. Patrick's Day is about as close to a treasonable offense as you'll find in any Irish neighborhood. There is a certain air to the Irish pub that sets it apart: the creaminess of the stout, the smokiness of the wooden bar, the perfectly spherical physique of the bartenders. But most of all there is the conversation, which ranges from Joyce to the IRA, to the sermon that new priest had the nerve to preach last Sunday, but, by the fourth beer, always settles down to Sports...
...that it need not be expensive. Basic equipment, in addition to the glass, can be bought for less than $50. It includes: a glass cutter, a breaker (for splitting the glass), a grozier (to grind off errors), copper foil or lead (to hold the pieces together), a lathekin (a wooden tool) to flatten the foil on the glass, a soldering iron, a lubricant (usually kerosene) to make the cutter run smoothly on the glass, a flux (a solution to make the solder adhere to the foil or lead).

But when the doors reopened at midweek, after 14 hours of testimony and discussion, the great drug drama turned out to be something of a bust...
...other picture is more interesting. It shows Tiegs sitting in a small wooden boat, wearing a modest, white one-piece bathing suit. She regards the camera gravely, with a look of total self-absorption. Her body and face are womanly, but her expression is that of a three-year-old girl playing intently at the beach. She sees the photographer, but from a place far inside herself. She seems profoundly calm. A viewer wonders: What does she find there? What is so fascinating...
