After all, "nothing, not even a blizzard will stop the Irish," declares Daniel M. O'Sullivan, originator of a state legislature bill to make St. Patrick's Day a legal holiday. Blizzard and all, 50,000 wearers of the Green are expected to slosh through South Boston streets at 2 this afternoon, in honor of their patron saint...
That was Pollock's one big contribution to the slosh-and-spatter school of postwar art, and friend and foe alike crowded the exhibition in tribute to the champ's prowess. They found a sort of proof of his claims to fame in the exhibition catalogue, which lists no less than 16 U.S. and three European museums that own Pollock canvases.

The boys live the old Spartan life: they sleep on boards covered only by a thin mattress, eat cold gag (cold meat), crug and flab (bread & butter), kiff (tea), slosh (boiled rice) and taff (potatoes). Their top Grecian still has the privilege of delivering a special address to each new British sovereign, and each year the whole school marches to the residence of the Lord Mayor to receive for each boy a brand-new shilling and for each Grecian a guinea...
