...list since the death of Maitre d'hótel Albert Blaser in 1959, and he attacks Chez Denis (*) for serving "the costliest meal in Paris today." As for the London Hilton, it is "the closest version of a 'hotel machine' that America could export. It functions, it looks (and it is) sleek and modern; it provides food, drink, comfort, and even luxury. The only two vital ingredients it lacks are warmth and humanity...
...accusation brought an acid reply from Coca-Cola Export Corp. Chairman James A. Farley, Franklin Roosevelt's old campaign manager. The company, snapped Farley, was not about to honor "any boycott." Fact was, he continued, that the Israeli bottler in question, the Tempo Beverage Co., was an undesirable business associate; in 1963, Coke had to go to court to make Tempo stop "infringement of the Coca-Cola trademark and bottle design."

Britain remains the biggest foreign buyer, with 5,181,185 bottles last year, but the U.S. is a fast-growing second, with 3,478,522 bottles. French champagne makers are unworried over competition from U.S. wines. "They are our avant-garde," says Robert Jean de Vogüé, head...
...obediently into orbit. In the movie's oversimple view of Washington under Kennedy, intramural shoptalk and crackling press conferences disappear, for the city is "transformed into a cultural capital." In fact, this is neither Kennedy's Washington nor Washington's Kennedy. It is a legend for export, smoothly put together, fiercely partisan and as heedless of history as a love letter written in sand...
