Tap Dance

Serious Equipment Failure On German Train

Germany’s national railway wasn't about to risk sending a trainload of soccer fans to a German Cup match without beer. Federal police said yesterday that the beer tap had failed aboard a special train carrying Bayern Leverkusen fans to Hamburg at the weekend. ``In order not to endanger the good mood'' of the passengers, railway officials halted the train for 25 minutes and had a replacement part delivered by taxi.
