...kitchen that little Gilles; 10, and Marcel, 9, could scarcely believe their eyes. There were two turkeys, a whole pig's head, great pieces of pork and ham and veal, a beef tongue, fruits, nuts, candy, piles of vegetables and a big jar of olives. Because Mme. Miville-Dechêne had done her shopping in snow-mantled Quebec City on Saturday, she had five days to get ready for la fête de Noël-first the big réveillon feast that would follow midnight Mass, and then le diner...
...Galantine. Mme. Miville-Dechêne saved her biggest job till last. That was her galantine, made from a generations-old recipe. Deftly she skinned a ten-pound turkey, carefully keeping the skin intact. Then she sewed up the openings, leaving a hole for the stuffing. In went the beef tongue, two pounds each of chopped veal and minced fresh pork, one pound each of salt pork and finely ground ham.

Malraux or Soustelle is often there, and nearly every top Government man from Ramadier down has been to Colombey at least once in the last eight months. Mme. de Gaulle is the ideal wife for a dedicated man: devoted and self-effacing. (His three grown children live elsewhere.) When the General is engrossed with one visitor, she chats with the others...
...returned from Norway last spring (TIME, April 14), her friends & foes alike had kept the issue hot. It was the Met which gave the great Wagnerian soprano her chance 13 years ago. Said Johnson: "Personally, I think it is a great loss to opera and this company that Mme. Flagstad has not returned. But if you had 7,000 subscribers who blindly agreed to take operas sight unseen at the beginning of the season, and 3,000 of them you knew had a prejudice against Mme. Flagstad's returning, would you take her back?" The answer, to Johnson...
