...France in 1940, her father, a Jew, fled to Britain to join Charles de Gaulle's Free French army. Simone remained in France with her family, adopting her mother's maiden name --Signoret--to escape detection by the Nazis, and worked as a secretary for the Paris daily Les Nouveaux Temps...
...almost beyond realness. The international rich have rediscovered the Gold Coast's Palm Beach County. Though it includes the town of Palm Beach, this incubator for the newly wealthy is snob years distant from that small, code-ridden oasis of blue blood and encrusted money. The Gold Coast nouveaux, for the most part lustier, sportier and much younger than the ancien régime of Worth Avenue, converge from all over the world to flaunt their millions.

Unlike the old rich, Florida's nouveaux have no time for gardening. There are service companies to zap the crabgrass and prune the azaleas. In fact, most new Boca abodes come with preplanted gardens.

They are owned by engineers and airline pilots, big businessmen and corporations. Most of the bottles shipped by such wineries...
...Burgundies will not be available until early 1980 for whites and early 1981 for reds. They will be scarce, but wines from Beaujolais and the Côtes du Rhône, Burgundy's neighbors to the south, have enjoyed abundant harvests. As a result, the 1978 nouveaux are not only better than last year's but often cheaper." And there is good news from Bordeaux, which also had an excellent year. Growers there expect a price rise of only 4% for reds and 10% for whites, which will make Bordeaux a good value compared with those rarefied...
