As some 80 shells crumped into the palace, President Suleiman Franjieh, 65, made a hasty exit in an armored limousine...

"The fewer questions the better, the less he says the better, the less he knows the better. I want to talk about what's serious, not sit through the awkward moments of introduction.

The high priest of the new way was Paul Bocuse, who brought to French cooking a new emphasis on freshness and simplicity (TIME, April 9, 1973)-and in 1975 received the Legion of Honor from President Giscard d'Estaing. The orgiastic bouffe-meals that would consume long hours of relentless, if not hoggish stuffing of the gullet-got its just desserts.
