...Klein jockstrap. They'd added a new dimension to her sex life. Was she a pervert?" The question could only be put by Judith Krantz, back again with her patented blend of eavesdropping and name dropping. Her heroine, Maxi Amberville ("her surpassingly green eyes, the precise color of Imperial Jade"), is the customary flaring, rich, tousled, naughty, gorgeous protean number.

Of India's greatest glories, its large-scale sculpture and monumental architecture, there is scarcely even a photographic hint. In all the exhibition, the only room that comes close to conveying a sense of the objects in context...
...knife point to rim a sauce of grass-green pureed spinach or by flecks of herbs and vegetables added to a terrine of rabbit set in a pale, jewel-like aspic. Wielding a tiny round cutter that he found in Japan, Robuchon scoops pinpoints of ivory apple and jade avocado to be tossed with lobster for an intriguing appetizer salad, and he lards snowy codfish with slivers of pink salmon before braising the combination...
