The Real Thing: Truth and Power at the Coca-Cola Company
by Constance L. HaysCOCA-COLA BEGAN SIMPLY, as so many things do. Filled with sparkle and democratically priced, it was as American as baseball, as accessible as jazz. It cost a nickel, which almost anyone could afford. Before long, it was everywhere. It originated in a time of turmoil, as an antidote cloaked in innocence. It was marketed vigorously upon a willing public. And in its essence there is conflict. A swallow of Coca-Cola is both sweet and tart. A single formula joins together elements as commonplace as table sugar and as exotic as the cola nut. It began as a drink, as dark as night, and became an experience, flowing over time and place, linked by memory to the meal on the table and the company at hand. Over more than a hundred years it came to be seen as a constant amid change, a rock standing against the tide. It was the most ubiquitous soda, sold at every grocery store and luncheonette and stadium across the land. It was the drink of the people, but it also possessed an odd power, a power that lifted it above other soft drinks.

The Bachelor Home Companion: A Practical Guide to Keeping House Like a Pig
by P. J. O'Rourke"I always wanted to be a bachelor when I grew up. My friends may have had fantasies about raking the yard, seeing their loved ones in pin curlers and cleaning the garage on Sundays, but not me. I saw myself at thirty-eight lounging around a penthouse in a brocade smoking jacket. Vivaldi would be playing on the stereo. I'd sip brandy from a snifter the size of a fish tank and leaf through an address book full of R-rated phone numbers. ..." Always with tongue firmly in cheek, the author points out the trouble, for bachelors, with laundromats, cooking, shopping and everything else that goes along with managing a house. "Bachelor cooking is a matter of attitude. If you think of it as setting fire to things and making a mess, it's fun. It's not so much fun if you think of it as dinner. Fortunately, baloney, cheeseburgers, beer, and potato-chip dip provide all the daily nutrients bachelors are known to require. I mean, I hope they do."
