...Mediterranean have lately been afflicted with a phenomenon familiar to the U.S.: the beatnik. Unwashed, unshaven, unregenerate, clad in turtleneck sweatshirt, Levi's and sandals, the European variety is often armed with a tin cup and either a guitar or colored chalks to wrest pennies for wine and smokes from sidewalk patrons. Britons, who tend to consider eccentrics national assets, regard their beatniks with tolerant amusement. Charles de Gaulle's police have been trying, with scant success, to shoo them out of newly scrubbed Paris. Chancellor Ludwig Erhard is truly outraged, for the happy-go-lucky Gammler...
...specifically Communist crime is "hooliganism," a rubric that covers everything from horsing around in public to beating up policemen. Hooliganism is intimately associated with alcohol-fully 80% of arrested hooligans prove to be stoned on vodka or Georgian wine. Most of them regard the customary 15-day jail rap as a holiday from work. From now on, the fact that a man is drunk when he commits a crime is to be considered an aggravating rather than an extenuating circumstance...
...fill that gap, Restaurateur Victor Bergeron, better known in 13 U.S. cities as Trader Vic, rallied 20 oenological experts for a year's study, and last week uncorked the first guide to the wines of California, whose annual production of 143 million gal. accounts for 76% of all the wine consumed in the U.S. Vic's list rates 99 wines from a top of three stars ("the finest"), to zero stars ("highly acceptable"). His eleven three-star choices, all in the $2.50 to $5.50 range at stores...
Nothing to Chance. For all his discipline, Poussin was in no sense a stony prude or a bloodless geometrist. He reveled in depicting bacchanalia where swarthy satyrs lurched after alabaster-skinned nymphs, and chubby putti chugged wine as if it were rosy Pablum -all composed as carefully as a ballet. In his Rape of the Sabine Women (see opposite page), swords and outflung arms set up triangles that play a counterpoint against the squarish architecture. Nothing is left to chance, not even the suggestive but studied pas de deux of the Sabine maidens and their Roman abductors...
...issues of NATO, the Common Market and Viet Nam, the best that the Yorkshireman and the Auvergnat could do was agree to disagree. However, the two leaders did decide to go ahead with the historic, $560 million channel tunnel to link Dover and Calais, and Wilson's wine cellar proved admirably equal to the premier occasion: one luncheon carte included a 1934 Château Margaux and an 1878 Grand Fin Bois...
