...lackluster show. Super stereotypical French desserts such as tarte tatin (apple tart) and crème brulée were tempting and cried out from the menu as a possible redemption. I ordered the brulée and was once again let down with a resounding “oeuf!” as the burnt sugar crust required just a bit too much push to crack, and the chilled custard beneath (I prefer warm) had a hint of a stale dairy taste, suggesting that it had been in the no doubt adorably quaint Frigidaire for a bit too long...

A relatively new sport, Alpine skiing only acquired Olympic recognition in 1936, and it has become virtually a private French preserve since Coach Honoré Bonnet, 48, a feisty little ex-army officer, took over the team in 1959. Bonnet taught his racers the aerodynamic "oeuf" position that won a gold medal in the downhill for Jean Vuarnet at Squaw Valley in 1960. He dressed them in slick nylon stretch suits instead of baggy trousers and tops, switched them from wood to more maneuverable metal skis, made training an intensive, year-round proposition, stressed strength and speed...

Bonnet reasoned that I'oeuf, a little used, head-down, feet-apart crouch, would give less aerodynamic drag and a lower center of gravity, thus making a skier faster and less likely to fall. The trouble was that it required fantastic strength to hold the egg for any length of time. Le coach, therefore, put les skiers through an exhaustive and exhausting daily ritual of deep knee bends with 60-lb. sacks of sand...
