...York City's newest, largest and most successful café-restaurants, called America. In a larger sense, that greeting is equally appropriate for style-conscious eaters who formerly restricted their gastronomic forays to France, where they devoted vacation times to seeking out the specialties of superstar chefs like Paul Bocuse, Michel Guérard and the Troisgros brothers. Now with equal zeal, many such adventurers are beginning to tour the U.S., eager to sample the highly publicized culinary creations that make up the new American cuisine...
...cache was evidently earmarked for settlers in the French territory of New Caledonia. More than 20 people have died over the past 14 months in clashes between French settlers and indigenous Melanesians seeking independence from France. The ship's cook, Michel Four, 29, pleaded guilty to illegal possession of the munitions, but he insisted that profits, not politics, had motivated him. "I need money because I want to marry a young New Zealander," he told an Auckland court. In Paris, the incident drew yawns.

Although his body has not yet been found, there appeared to be little hope that he was still alive...
Vincent Delerm cuts an unlikely figure for a pop star, especially a French one. There's no trace of Johnny Hallyday's leathery ostentation, no hint of the designer brooding of a Jean Michel Jarre. With his self-cut thatch of prematurely graying hair, the 28-year-old Delerm prefers casual clothes and tennis shoes, and professes to have neither a computer nor an e-mail address. Though he doesn't dress the part, Delerm can still pull in the crowds. Last month, he played a sold-out five-night stand at the famed Olympia concert hall in Paris...
