...most celebrated dish of the southwest is cassoulet, a concoction of meat and dried beans that is the subject of as many variations and arguments as bouillabaisse or chili. After tasting dozens of versions, the author found the ultimate cassoulet at the Hotel de France in Auch, prepared by the celebrated Gascon chef Andre Daguin. Made with fresh fava beans and confit of duck, it is a contrast in flavors and textures that struck her as nothing less than "a miracle." American cooks should be equally impressed...

...Auch in Amerika opened to a packed house. At every political punch line, rhythmic rehearsed applause thundered from one section of the audience. Next day the Communist press dutifully trotted out reviews, though the chore was almost too much for Berliner Zeitung Critic Hans Ulrich Eylau, who cautiously wrote he thought the play's denouement a little hard to take. Gulped Eylau: "This is not to be a critical final judgment. It is just the result of a first encounter with a play that in spite of all its shortcomings is ... an enrichment of our scanty stock of political...
