Lecture at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), London 22 Jan 09

Time to end the second prohibition
Taki's Magazine 04 Jan 09
Salvation was in the air. Repeal, also, was in the air. Two weeks before, the lame-duck Congress had turned a somersault and voted the amendment to the Constitution ending Prohibition. The wets were making merry with applejack, bathtub gin and prohibition hooch. "Beer by Easter," they cried. Forty-one legislatures were in session for the chance to approve the wet amendment...
