    That and its creation of gangsterism are, I think, the main reasons the electorate gave up on Prohibition.

    Two examples of the sort of culture in which I was raised:
    1) My father bragged for the rest of his life that he was the first to score a legal case of Dewar's Ne Plus Ultra after Repeal.
    2} I was 12 years old when I first discovered that "the Noble Experiment" was not the process by which one learned to make bathtub gin.

    I'm off to the pub 'round 4:00. I certainly raise one (or several) in toast.
