...Wine and Criticism. La Varenne is by no means an academy for chefs. Consultant Child, citing the eminent Paul Bocuse's definition of a chef as "a general who commands an army," prefers to think of the school as "a clearinghouse for everyone who is even the tiniest bit interested in cooking." The interest is evident. Since its opening last month, without advertising, La Varenne's New York office alone has received more than 1,000 requests for brochures. Enthusiasts from all over the U.S. have signed up for La Varenne courses (from a week...
...organizations in the wake of Mexico's vote for the Zionism resolution. Faced with a big drop in the country's billion-dollar tourist business, President Echeverría two weeks ago entertained a group of visiting Jewish leaders at a kosher luncheon (lox, roast chicken, white wine). He said that Mexico voted for the measure only because it was trying to prod Israel into a dialogue with the Arabs.

Clearly the man liked wine and women; it is his song that Davies manages to ignore. He dismisses, for instance, the difficult but hardly inaccessible Finnegans Wake as a "monument to perversity." So much for 18 years of his subject's life-and for a palimpsest dream-epic of surpassing erudition and beauty. Davies...
...undoubtedly is. While I have had to earn my bread as a political writer for most of my adult life, I have always paid for wine and dessert by writing on history, humor and the arts. And Harvard today is still crackling with creative energy as well as being steeped in history. Once you find your way around, it is an unfailing source of treasures, pleasures and surprises...many of them living people. Nor is it possible for the old stones and bricks of Harvard Yard, the dormitories, the classrooms, the libraries and the churches, to have witnessed so much...
