Most of the guests, naturally, were French, though Belgium, Spain and West Germany sent contingents; the passenger list also included a smattering of Englishmen, Americans, and a Lebanese who flew from Beirut for the adventure. Instead of retiring to the solarium between meals-though the topless sun bathing rated two stars -most of the gourmets attended gastronomic "forums" where, often heatedly, they discussed such matters of faith as the correct temperature for serving champagne (46°-50° F. v. 50°-54° F.), whether smoking between courses dulls the palate (not at all, said Gault), and why there...

Blessed with a rightist government and a conservative Roman Catholic hierarchy, Portugal before the April revolution was one of the least libidinous countries in Europe. Striptease shows, topless dancers, dirty books and X-rated movies were, legally, at least, not allowed into the country.

(pop. 1,381), decided to outlaw dancing in public. Other proposals and the voters' decisions were...
