...this week, however, Americans will be celebrating the fact of independence and not the reasons for it. After the public reading of the Declaration.Philadelphians sounded their church bells all day and night. Battalions marched to the State House yard. Muskets cracked a feu de joie. Early this week the news had traveled only as far as New York and Dover, Delaware; it will probably not reach Georgia before August. In Dover, the Committee of Safety presided over a ceremonial burning of a portrait of George III. Said the committee's president: "Thus we destroy even the shadow of that King...
...this year's edition of the Guide Gault-Millau, France's sprightliest food publication. (The spa also has a gourmand menu for the calorie-careless.) The more conservative and authoritative Guide Michelin, which awarded two stars to Guérard's first restaurant, Le Pot au Feu, outside Paris, has just given two stars to the Eugenie-les-Bains establishment-an unusual distinction for what is, after all, essentially a fat farm...

As for Women's Lib, "It's just another form of puritanism. I think it makes life rather dull...
Female chauvinist sexploitation will reach a new level of some kind in the April issue of British Cosmo magazine with its first male nude pinup -a center spread of Germaine Greer's husband wearing nothing but a convenient shadow. Paul du Feu, 36, a London construction worker, was married almost four years ago to Women's Liberator Greer-though they separated after only three weeks, says Germaine, because he wanted her "to be a wife." How does Paul feel about giving his all to the pages of a women's magazine...
