salesman and buyer at the Wine House in Los Angele s, which stocks about 7,000 labels, says he sells about five cases of Bitch and the Ball Buster ever y month. “We carry them because people ask for the m,” he said. “They’re good wines that people can g ive with a smile on their face.” John Gorman, the vice president of sales and marke ting at Southern Starz, which imports the Ball Bus ter, said, “The wine makes its way to a lot of law yers from their clients.” Under the rules of the federal alcohol bureau, lab els cannot contain incorrect or misleading informa tion, disparage a competitor’s product, or have a statement or image that is obscene or indecent. Bu t the agency routinely gives the go-ahead for tast eless or risque labels, which was not always the c ase. “It’s actually a good place to see the cultural fa ult lines shift,” said Robert C. Lehrman, whose co mpany, Lehrman Beverage Law, advises clients on go vernment regulations. “Because of a series of comm ercial speech decisions, not many things are off l imits anymore.” Winemakers have some way to go before equaling the shock value of Jersey’s Toxic Waste, a specialty spirit. But the bitch category may yield dividends . Take Rae-Jean Beach, a blended white wine. (The name needs to be said aloud.) She’s got a husband, a zinfandel. Sorry, but the name is not printable here. ~~~~~~~~~~ <strong>NYT</strong>-1207: OP-ED A Reluctant Enemy ... By IAN W. TOLL The architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor had be en against going to war with the United States at all. ===== notyet
San Francisco - ON a bright Hawaiian Sunday mornin g 70 years ago today, hundreds of Japanese warplan es appeared suddenly over Pearl Harbor and laid wa ste to the United States Pacific Fleet. The Americ an people boiled over in righteous fury, and Ameri ca plunged into World War II. The “date which will live in infamy” was the real turning point of the war, which had been raging for more than two year s, and it opened an era of American internationali sm and global security commitments that continues to this day. By a peculiar twist of fate, the Japanese admiral who masterminded the attack had persistently warne d his government not to fight the United States. H ad his countrymen listened, the history of the 20t h century might have turned out much differently. Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto foresaw that the struggle wo uld become a prolonged war of attrition that Japan could not hope to win. For a year or so, he said, Japan might overrun locally weak Allied forces — but after that, its war economy would stagger and its densely built wood-and-paper cities would suff er ruinous air raids. Against such odds, Yamamoto could “see little hope of success in any ordinary strategy.” His Pearl Harbor operation, he confesse d, was “conceived in desperation.” It would be an all-or-nothing gambit, a throw of the dice: “We sh ould do our best to decide the fate of the war on the very first day.” During the Second World War and for years afterwar d, Americans despised Yamamoto as an archvillain, the perpetrator of an ignoble sneak attack, a pers onification of “Oriental treachery.” Time magazine published his cartoon likeness on its Dec. 22, 19 41, cover — sinister, glowering, dusky yellow comp lexion — with the headline “Japan’s Aggressor.” He was said to have boasted that he would “dictate t erms of peace in the White House.”
