And how about love? "Love," sniffs one German, "is for teen-agers-and Frenchmen...
...century-old grain business had developed into the U.S.-based Continental Grain Co. with dealings all over the world. When World War II was over, Fribourg managed to bring his Paris collection across the Atlantic intact; the German general who occupied his house had evidently become so fond of the Fribourgs' chef's cooking that in gratitude he gave the collection his personal protection...
