"1920 … PROHIBITION!" THE Eighteenth Amendment, ratified by forty-six of the forty-eight states (all but Connecticut and Rhode Island), went into effect January 16, 1920. America was dry! People sort of held their breath, wondering what this new America would be like.
"ENTER THE No. 1 ONE BOOZE SLEUTH … Izzy Einstein." The days when the incomparable Einstein roamed New York, raiding right and left, disguising himself in all manner of hilarious get-ups, belong to a fabulous period. It seems incredible.
