...Brazilians stuffed potatoes with them, and the Malaysians spiced them up into rendang. But the U.S. competitors, 28-year-old Timothy Hollingsworth and his assistant, Adina Guest, braised the meat until it was silky, set it on a tiny round of baby turnip, and topped it with a floret of broccolini. Smuggled through customs, the vegetables came straight from the garden of the famed French Laundry restaurant in Napa, California, where the two chefs work, and gave the presentation a delicious, locally grown flavor that could only be American. Sadly, in a context where extravagance and adherence to the rules...

Deputy Paul Coste-Floret clearly spoke for his fellows when he said: "Many of us would have legal qualms about doing this if General de Gaulle were not the head of state." Their only assurance that De Gaulle would not abuse his power lay in his own restraint. It was an ominous turning for the Fifth Republic-which had ceased, in all but name, to be a republic. France was again following...
...Earrings of Madame De (Franco-London; Arlan Pictures). Director Max Ophuls has drawn on the long European tradition, as if at a taproot through time, to nourish this dainty, completely artificial floret. It is a literary picture, plainly enough, but it is also not much less than a perfect one, a new cinema classic.
