back into the '20s and some of the items certainly remain in the cellar and a vintage from 1949 that edith probably enjoyed in her time in the house as well. we associate woodrow wilson with prohibition but as a constitutional amendment wilson really played no large role in its promotion and in fact wilson actually vetoed the act. it passed over his veto and the volsted act is what led to how the amendment would be enforced and so wilson said there was no prohibition, there was no temperance in the prohibition amendment. he was certainly in favor of temperance, but not a strict prohibition. >> and we return back live to milwaukee, wisconsin, where our history tv program on the history of beer and spirits in america is just getting under way. a lot of coverage here on c-span 3. >> we have been working at the invitation of our two presidents, ast lis kessler harris and marty blat, and can each five or six years ago i think after this meeting we'll try to meet more often because it has been such a rick collaboration, our two organizations meet together to share ideas and to try to improve our

and this year's award goes to edith perlman.pplause] >> in her introduction to binocular vision, ann patchett writes the construction of pyramids and the persistent use of styrofoam as a packing material, let me add this one: why isn't edith perlman famous? it is a mystery, but perhaps binocular visions will change things. this collection of poem and short stories -- 21 drawn from across her career and 13 new -- makes a convincing case that she is among the very finest writers short fiction alive. new england, latin america, israel, russian, the stories are always both surprising and exquisitely controlled. perlman is as adept with both women and men, old characters and young ones. the collection's final story, the gem-like self-reliance, borrows it title if emerson and its setting on a wooded pond from thoreau. its main character is not looking for transcendence, but what she finds as with all of perlman's stories lead up to in their tenderly, but frankly drawn characters a moment of grace.
