...sure you make the final call--because you will suffer for your teammates' bad decisions. And if you're paired with a guest chef in your finale, don't let him or her take over (as Carla did in her heartbreaking Season 5 finale loss). It's your aspic on the line, not the guest...
...campaign of a thousand cuts is under way, and for what? Chirac doesn't want a "rupture" from his self-preserving balancing act between right and left, which has left French society in aspic for the last 11 years.

The setting was the antebellum-in-aspic city of Charleston, South Carolina, where in 1977 Menotti founded an American counterpart to his annual Spoleto Festival in Italy. Two years ago, Menotti resigned in a huff after a petulant, embarrassing two-year power struggle with the festival's board and management. First the board insisted on including...
