Irma Rombauer had sampled some of the pleasures of European cooking when her father served for several years as American consul in Bremen. In those turn-of-the-century days, directions for more exotic dishes were almost always in French, and began: "Make a white sauce, stir until ready." Or: "Simmer your leftover grouse for 36 hours and season to taste with duxelles." Irma Rombauer had no idea how to make a white sauce or what duxelles was-even...
...lifetime nor in the 75 years since his death has the German public got to know him well. Other artists have long admired him; but the very fame of these admirers-men like Emil Nolde, Franz Marc and Max Beckmann-tended to dim his own.

Last week, after six months of quiet negotiation, Borgward was finally sold for $14 million-but not to Detroit. The buyer turned out to be Impulsora Mexicana Automotriz, a consortium recently formed by top Spanish Truckmaker Eduardo Barreiros Rodriguez and a covey of Latin American entrepreneurs, including Bolivian Tin King Antenor Patino and Millionaire Mexico City Lawyer Ernesto Santos Galindo...
...consortium is to move Borgward's operations to Mexico, which is eagerly trying to build its own auto industry. First to move will be Borgward's body factory, subassembly and assembly plants. Until Mexican technicians can be trained, mechanical parts will be made in Bremen-and production of complete cars for the European market may also be resumed there...
