When the two men were through toasting each other, Gropius opened a letter notifying him of an honorary Ph.D. from the University of Berlin. "Isn't that nice?" he said...
...fruit for breakfast (no coffee!), at least three glasses of water or juice during the morning, a sandwich and salad for lunch, more water or juice, and for dinner only light soup, fruit or green salad, with nothing headier than cottage cheese. Liquor is absolutely banned. So are pepper, mustard and other spices, along with spiced meats and rich desserts...
