IN
THESE STORIES, written by first-year students at the Graduate School of
Journalism, a van-driving rescue worker checks
up on inert bodies on the San Francisco streetsˇBerkeley's fraternities
grapple with the alarming possibility that sororities may refuse to party
with them unless the booze disappearsˇour reporter probes the Red
Bull mystique (does the secret ingredient really come from bull's, you
know, units?) ˇa thriving market in El Cerrito does
boffo business in beverages exotic to the Western palate, but familiar in
Taiwan and Hong Kongˇpolice "decoy" graduates tell
what it's like to nab a careless store clerk for selling malt liquor to
a teenagerˇthe gallumphing smoothie market is
examined and found overblown in the vitamin-hype department...a first-generation
Chinese American chugs his way through the startling new array of milky
stuff now crowding up the non-dairy shelvesˇand in the Tough Job, But
Someone's Got to Do It department, our man on the cultural beat ventures
out for an evening with the Bud Girls, those
richly endowed icons of American male fantasy. The closing line in the Webster's Dictionary definition of drink reads: to take in with the senses of the mind, esp. in an eager manner. We hope you'll do just that.
