...when somebody writes an encyclopaedia of restaurants, the name Ellman may be close to Escoffier - and not just alphabetically. Auguste Escoffier left the world crepes suzette and peach Melba, but in his own way Larry Ell man is equally inventive. He has given the world the trompe l'oeil restaurant. His idea is to sell atmosphere and let atmosphere sell food...
...some moveable bookshelves are the objects which make the bookstore-coffee shop the most novel in Cambridge. They are magazines, in almost every Romance language and covering a wide variety of topics: Paris Match is there, so is L'Oeil, U.S. News and the Atlantic Monthly, and L'Arte de Modelle, the best Italian art magazine.

...process of being born. Much like the Fauves and Cubists of painting. Expo's directors and cameramen at their best seem to have found a new way of interpreting and reproducing the imagery of life. Much of the expertise has been expended on trompe-l'oeil techniques that clearly have no place in the commercial film of today, or even tomorrow.
