Although he serves as the party's chief propagandist, Duclos wisely concentrated on giving Communism a friendly face and good one-liners-including the name of his dog, Pompon, after his favorite political opponent.

Auguste Escoffier left the world crepes suzette and peach Melba, but in his own way Larry Ell man is equally inventive. He has given the world the trompe l'oeil restaurant.
