...Adam 12. He is 6 ft. tall, strapping, fresh-faced and gregarious. He owns a modest seven-room home, has a pretty wife and two healthy children. At 29, Poulin gets along equally well with the townsfolk and students from nearby Colby College. He likes to joke, likes aged bourbon, likes cold beer. Two nights a week he drives 15 miles to the University of Maine campus, where he studies psychology and English composition. He also heads a Boy Scout troop in the best Police Athletic League tradition...

Certainly not all U.S. consumers will switch to American-made products. Fanciers of Scotch whisky, for instance, are unlikely to opt for bourbon or rye, no matter what happens to the price.

At the baths, Mother's attempts at strict motherliness break down under close quarters, and Laurent asserts his maturity by taking on the role...
Since football is every bit as important to the Texas social structure as bourbon and the Baptist Church, it is only fitting that the fair should kick off with the annual Texas-Oklahoma game. This Southwestern tribal ritual more closely resembles a vigorous bloodletting in the Circus Maximus than a friendly athletic contest. Instead of musky wine from handwrought goblets, though, the spectators knock down rye whisky from leather-bound flasks while the hot-blooded young gladiators, as they say down home, whup ole Billy outa one another. Turns out, for the first time in five years, it is Oklahoma...
