...Teddy are joined forever at the hip by a tough, flexible band of flesh. Their father Durwood is an odd-job country dreamer; their mother Stella is a former hat-check girl. The twins hop about town with the nimbleness of a randy goat. The local moviehouse and pub are their real academies; indeed a case can be made that much of the novel is a celebration of the drinking life...
Harassment. Directing the campaign for the Irish government is Justice Minister Desmond O'Malley, 33, a brash political fighter whose antipathy toward the I.R.A. was sharpened by the recent bombing of his father-in-law's pub just north of the border.

His most important innovation: a self-righting, self-bailing lifeboat that during World War II was parachuted to airmen downed...
...also co-starred with N.F.L. Commissioner Pete Rozelle in a less amusing real-life gambling drama set in the commissioner's office and a Manhattan pub, Bachelors III, of which Namath was part owner. Rozelle's office had determined that hoods and gamblers were hanging out in the bar, and the commissioner ordered Namath to sell his interest. Namath replied by tearfully-and very publicly-retiring from football. If he meant to bluff, it did not work. Within two months he huddled with Rozelle and emerged after a lengthy session to announce that he would give...
