This, of course, runs counter to the spirit of the novel, which insists that O's mistreatment-at the château where her lover takes her for initiation into the joy-through-pain cult-becomes pure (and purifying) agony...
...economic summit meeting at the Chåteau de Rambouillet outside Paris fulfilled the modest expectations. The heads of government of the U.S., France, Britain, West Germany, Italy and Japan pledged greater cooperation in managing their increasingly interdependent economies and agreed to fight vigorously against "high unemployment, continuing inflation and serious energy problems" without so much as hinting at any specific measures by which these grand goals might be accomplished.

...beer called Singhe, which is reputedly one of the world's most potent. Mohs' selfless research continued during a recent weekend trip to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. There he sampled several Northeastern small-brewery beers, savoring each bouquet as if it were a Château Mouton-Rothschild. Unfortunately, as his story relates, many of these regional beers could soon disappear. "And that," Mohs warns, "gives one a certain sense of urgency about drinking them while...
