...star game. Since winning his second star in 1981, he had shamelessly crusaded for a third. He went nearly €5 million into debt expanding the 18th century Côte d'Or building in the tiny village of Saulieu. He transformed French cooking with his cuisine ? l'eau style, which uses water to bring out flavors and eschews the French weakness for cream and butter.

...consistently authored essays low in both idea density and grammatical complexity a half-century or more earlier. One of the lowest-scoring samples begins: "My father, Mr. L.M. Hallacher, was born in the city of Ross, County Cork, Ireland, and is now a sheet-metal worker in Eau Claire."
