...French press accounts that did appear stuck to Michelin's own rather laconic communiqué announcing the appointment of German executive Julianne Caspar as the editor-in-chief of the company's 108 year-old Guide Rouge. Sagely, the reports avoided any moaning about German cooking or foreign assaults on la grandeur de la France. "Why should the appointment of Ms Julianne Caspar, someone who is clearly a hugely qualified traditional French cuisine proponent ... shock the French?" asked Anglophone French blog franceblogcom. "This blog and its French members are happy to learn that a woman, a German, has been selected...
...years to negotiate, there is no mystery about the basic ingredients of a framework agreement that Reagan and Gorbachev could sign this year or next. They are evident to both advocates and opponents of arms control within the Administration. That is why the opponents, led by Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and Richard Perle, have been waging a fierce but largely invisible campaign to put the kibosh on the arms-control agreements of the past lest they provide the basis for new agreements in the future.

NATO defense ministers meeting in Portugal were successfully persuaded by Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger last week to reaffirm support for deployment of NATO'S missiles if there is no agreement at the INF negotiations in Geneva. But despite this declaration, West European leaders remain hopeful that the U.S. will adopt a more flexible approach. In this week's speech, Reagan is expected to indicate that the U.S. will consider accepting...
...before-after pictures of the Yard. (These had just been presented to Drew Faust some weeks back.) The most striking transformation is of Tercentenary theatre, in particular the courtyard of Sever Hall. The earlier pictures are barren and ghostly, and emphasize Sever’s gothicisms. It is the Caspar Friedrich David the Fogg never had. A decade later, there is a transformation. The honey locusts are robust, dappled light all streaming to the ground, ready for a cluster of students for an admissions catalogue...
