Moonshiners Turn Mountains Into Billion-Dollar Bootleg Trade
United States Internal Revenue agents report a surge in moonshining with an estimated 102,000 illicit stills mostly in the southern mountains. Roughly 434 million gallons of liquor are produced annually, with moonshiners evading about 2.5 billion dollars in taxes. Agents use helicopters and planes to locate hidden stills, including a remarkable underground setup near Brevard North Carolina discovered after a tip. New York City also uncovered a large still in a junkyard run by West Virginia moonshiners. Easter fireworks expand in Latin America. Florida’s Lakeland hosts an imported Hindu temple on the Florida Southern campus. The Great Plains remain the most active tornado region in the U.S.
