...heavy first stage of the rocket could consist of four clumsy but efficient, solid-propellant boosters. Since air resistance is low at that altitude, their unstream-lined shape would not pay much penalty in drag. The second stage would be a smaller, liquid-fueled rocket (1,300 lbs.), and it would carry in its nose the final rocket (200 lbs.) that would be the satellite...

Under Escoffier's system of specialists, an entre-mettier baked the eggs in butter, a ròtisseur grilled the kidney, a saucier dished up the truffle sauce, and a gourmet was made ecstatic in only a few minutes. Traditionally, a luncheon for 40 might consist of 40 courses, and a dinner might last 18 hours, but Escoffier forged a new concept, replacing Gargantuan plenitude and baroque splendor with classic simplicity. His menus were like symphonies in their gradation of tastes...
