When Margaret Thatcher, then 53, appeared at the door of 10 Downing Street exactly 30 years ago today, hubris and self-doubt were not things that worried her. Having won the first of what would be three general-election victories, her address to the British people was not modest and self-deprecating in the traditional fashion. She clothed herself, rather, in the words of a saint - Francis of Assisi. "Where there is discord," she quoted, "may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth.

The repetitive, self-obsessed language and terminology employed by any recovering addict is multiplied eightfold. While each...
...this time, the Gallic Nation managed to shake off its tendency for self-doubt and nationalism. For now, French commentators are viewing Caspar's arrival at Michelin as a gain for French gastronomy at Germany's expense. "I'm as thrilled they've finally named a woman as I am disinterested in her nationality - which in a globalized world where only competence counts means nothing," famed chef Alain Senderens told TIME. Adds Laurent Mariotte, a food expert who hosts cooking programs on radio's France Info and television's TF1: "French cuisine has recently begun shedding it's reputation...
