...committed the cardinal baseball sin of insubordination, twice ignoring Martin's signal to swing away. He bunted foul on the third strike for an automatic out. That did it. Martin's hair-trigger nerves were already frayed and his health deteriorated by pressure and the search for solace in liquor. He paused only long enough to smash a radio and a beer bottle against his office wall, then suspended Jackson indefinitely...
...hard to see how. During most of the twelve-year marriage, Maugham was hardly a husband. He was most frequently off with Gerald Haxton, a handsome young American he had met during World War I. Full of charm and liquor, in nearly equal measure, Haxton was difficult but necessary, an ideal complement to Maugham, whose lifelong stutter made him shy and withdrawn. In their travels through the Far East, Haxton would spend the night drinking with the local planters and lawyers and then repeat their tales to Willie, who would fashion them into stories.

Reporters learned from it that Brooke had listed a $49,000 loan from a friend, Massachusetts Liquor Distributor A. Raymond Tye.

The rest came from his mother-in-law's insurance settlement. In an attempt to end the controversy, he handed Perera a check two weeks...
...consumed "extremely large quantities" of beer at the party. Although the court did not pass on the merits of Coulter's $1 million damage suit against the host, it overturned a lower court's ruling that the state's civil liability law applied only to bars, restaurants and liquor stores, not partygivers. Said the majority: No one can serve booze "under conditions involving a reasonably foreseeable risk of harm to others." California thus joins a small but growing group of states, including New York, Iowa and Oregon, where a too generous host can be held liable for his tipsy guests...
