TODAY IS: The last day of National Hot Tea Month, sponsored by the Tea Council of the USA. Frankly, the Tea Council could be doing a better job, since the traditional British beverage is woefully underappreciated in America, and yet look at the power it can wield: In 1999's TEA WITH MUSSOLINI, a group of British women in prewar Italy use the occasion of taking the brown beverage with the Fascist leader to ask for, and receive, political favors.
