Vodka's Vapidity...In the Stream...By Max Munson http://praguerevue.com/ViewArticle?articleId=5384 In the confines of TPR we have our share of booze. We have bottles of all shapes, ages, sizes and origins. We do not, however, have a lot of vodka. Yes, vodka is as effective as the next spirit technically. But where is the culture, the history, the shtick? With Mescal you imagine the craftsmen burying their agave. With bourbon we think of the charred oak casks and generations of know-how.

Tuesday Throwback: The Lost Drawings of Charles Bukowski...In the Stream...By The Editors http://praguerevue.com/ViewArticle?articleId=5341 “My ambition is handicapped by laziness,” so says one Charles Bukowski in Factotum. While seemingly true, that irascible man of Skid Row produced quite a bit of work spanning several genres. Most people are familiar with his poetry and works about fiction, but Bukowski actually made a name for himself with a regular column in an L.A. city paper. It is from that very engagement that these long lost prints were rediscovered...(more after link above)

Solidarność...In the Stream...By Alex M. Pruteanu http://praguerevue.com/ViewArticle?articleId=5342 You could see it off the Orange Line from the Maryland side, coming into the Deanwood station. It was tagged in gigantic red letters on the side of a decrepit, gargantuan water cistern shooting up over New York Avenue.
