...beer that might have made Moscow famous is a light, frothy brew called Zhiguli, which has long been touted as the perfect accompaniment for rak, a Russian crawfish. But for some time, Muscovites -and beer drinkers all over the U.S.S.R. -have noticed that their Zhiguli had lost its zip. Last week they knew why. Up for trial and denounced for his "criminally careless attitude" was V. P. Lisakov, director of Moscow's biggest brewery. The dark charge against Lisakov, Senior Brewmaster P. D. Kirichek, and eight other brewery officials: watering the Zhiguli...

...that if a race were to be run between him and an oak tree, the smart money would ride on the oak. Sportswriters fondly recall his beer-drinking exploits, like the time he hopped off a Cincinnati Reds bus during a brief stop to buy a case of cold brew, downed two bottles while getting his change. Former teammates remember being unable to get into his hotel room because he had stuffed towels under the door, turned on the shower's hot water full blast, and while resting on his bed, converted the place into a steam bath...

Basutoland is a tiny (11,716 sq. mi.) British crown colony, entirely surrounded by the Union of South Africa. In theory, Basutoland is two-thirds Christian, but the real source of ultimate power, in the minds of most Basuto, is a gory brew called the diretlo. It is boiled up from human flesh, blood, fat, and herbs pounded into paste. To be really potent, the flesh must be stripped from a still living human body, which explains why 140 people have died since 1945-and 51 were accused of killings last year-to provide raw materials for diretlo...
