Dead: August Haffenreffer, at 94. Who? Microbiologist. So? Microbiologist at brewery. Ring a bell? Ah, then, you don't know about Haffenreffer Private Stock Malt Liquor, Haffenwrecker, Green Lightning, P-Stock, Green Death, Liquid Crack, Green Lightning, the Green Monsta, the very potent brew favored by hip-hop artists and athletes for decades. He came up with the stuff a long time ago, but 40s of it were an essential accessory to the rap world, and remain so today. Wilt Chamberlain advertised it. It's in the lyrics of The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Juicy." Len Bias bought a lot of it the night before the O.D. That's some legacy. (Boston Globe)
