...Pyrenees to the Alps, from the sands of St.-Malo to the beaches of Nice, with hardly a dull plat en route. Willan succeeds admirably in analyzing the tastes, products, humors and quirks of each region. She proffers such delicate provincial dishes as dandelion salad, poularde en demi-deuil and sole with stuffed artichoke bottoms (preferably using the slippery little fish known in Bordeaux as "lawyers' tongues"), as well as such robust peasant offerings as potato pie, braised partridge with lentils, and stufatu, a Corsican beef stew with macaroni...

The author, who has been a teaching and writing associate of James Beard's, ennobles the plebeian poulet in such great incarnalations as demi-deuil, en brioche and bollito misto, all sagely laid out.

By 1965 pop had become the most popular movement in American art history, drenched in ballyhoo, gratefully supported by legions of collectors whose appetites bore the same relation to connoisseurship that TV dinners do to poulet en demi-deuil. Warhol, Lichtenstein, Indiana, Rosenquist, Wesselmann, Oldenburg, Johns and Rauschenberg became instant household names, not counting their swarm of epigones. "What we have with the pop artists," wrote the English critic Lawrence Alloway, "is a situation in which success has been combined with misunderstanding." He had coined the term...
...echo ou que certains parmi vous deja connaissent; mais, ce que je trouve surtout charmant dans la votre c'est cette gentille pensee d'y avoir convie d' abord M. le President de l'Universite, qui tres parternellement vous aime, n'en doutez pas, mais qu'un recent deuil de famille empeche malheureusement d'etre des votres ce soir, puis votre tres estime doyen, le professeur Sabine, enfin d'y avoir convie aussi vos professeurs qui vous sont si devoues.
