Mitterrand and his wife Danielle were driven through the Judean hills to the entrance to Jerusalem for a customary Hebrew ceremony in which they were served bread ("symbol of equality and community," the French President said), salt ("symbol of the spirit that will always prevail") and wine ("symbol of the rites that bring together the faithful"). There was an awkward but quickly forgotten moment when Mayor Teddy Kollek chided Mitterrand for refusing to visit disputed East Jerusalem, the Arab sector that Israel now claims as part of its capital. Afterward, the French President met with Begin for a talk that...
After Brezhnev felled a huge boar with a single shot, we moved to another stand even deeper in the forest. We remained there for some hours, and someone brought cold cuts, dark bread and beer from the jeep. Brezhnev's split personality-alternalively boastful and insecure, belligerent and mellow-was in plain view as we ate in that alfresco setting. The truculence appeared in his discussion of China. He spoke of his brother, who had worked there as an engineer before Khrushchev removed all Soviet advisers. He had found the Chinese treacherous, arrogant, beyond the human pale. They were...
...Jackson, Miss. Because she is used to salt-heavy Southern dishes, some of the things she was warned against are special. Avoid instant grits. Do not use self-rising flour, because it is full of soda and baking powder. Do not cook with salt pork. Use yeast-leavened bread.

Most people state that the foods they would enjoy least without salt are eggs, potatoes and bread. I buy eggs that are strictly fresh, small red new waxy potatoes, and make my own French bread without salt. The eggs (one a week) I scramble, poach or otherwise cook without salt. They are delectable. The potatoes (with broiled or steamed fresh fish, for example) are incredibly good. And the bread is irresistible. Incidentally, such things as bread and no-salt cereals improve in flavor and texture if baked briefly in the oven...
...contradictory atmosphere: grueling daytime practice and lessons, talking and living music, combined with nigh time lunacy. This was no kiddie camp, so there weren't curfews or parietals. And because we were stupid and inspired by our wacky role models, we stayed up incessantly-to bake early-morning bread, or contemplate the eternal under a sky-full of stars. Music was everything, but sex was more than everything. The outside world quickly faded, and no one read newspapers. We all turned vegetarian...
