Author: Hal Boyle Column
This is a VERY old Hal Boyle Column, probably form the late 60's or early
70's:
What is it to be Irish?
On 364 days of the year being Irish isn't visibly different from being
Scotch, French, Italian, Jewish, Serbian, Dutch, or - yes - even English.
The Irishman pays his bills, complains against his taxes, does his work, and
listens to his wife like the man of any other race.
But on this one day of the year - holy St. Patrick's Day - the Irishman
becomes an Irishman.
