A major liquor distiller has ordered 500 sets of alibi cartridges and tape players to be installed in bars throughout Manhattan for the coming Christmas season.

No one can even predict with certainty how light whisky will taste until it has matured a legal minimum of four years; in its present unripened state it somewhat resembles whisky-flavored vodka. Prices will range between the cost of a popular Scotch like Johnnie Walker Red Label and an inexpensive blend...
