...last of four gates damming the current, Torrijos, 46, suddenly plunged into the river-fully clothed in his national guard uniform, with military boots and a .45 automatic. He was immediately followed by a few loyal military aides, then by Panama's civilian Vice President, Gerardo Gonzáles. After several minutes of Mao-like cavorting for the benefit of onlookers and TV cameras, Torrijos climbed out of the muddy waters, volunteering no reason for his unexpected aquatics...
...bound to answer. Cubism was not about cubes, nor Fauvism about wild beasts. When in 1905 an affable critic looked round the Paris Salon d'Automne, which contained an Italianate bust surrounded by the paintings of Henri Matisse and his disciples, he made a wisecrack about "Donatella chez les fauves" (Donatello among the wild beasts), thus giving a short-lived movement a very durable and misleading label.

...consequence-of his waist-not, want-not approach, Guérard today commands the hottest "piano" (as professional chefs call their stoves) in the trendy, fiercely competitive world of grande cuisine.

Mother's 1,000. A typical 500-calorie menu at Eugenie-les-Bains last season included: first day-mousseline of crayfish with watercress sauce, leg of milk-fed lamb cooked in wild hay, apple surprise, eggplant caviar, salmon with sorrel sauce, pear souffle. Second day-salad of artichokes and green beans in wine vinegar, sweetbreads with mushrooms, melon sherbet, poached egg with...
...fact that he aims to improve the New York firm's financial performance-it had sales of only $15 million in 1975-by using the prestigious name of Cartier to merchandise all manner of un-haute products: luggage, stationery, lighters. This he expects to do by opening les musts de Cartier throughout the U.S. in department stores and as independent shops. One gathers that the American secretary is supposed to feel quite at home in them...
