Henri Gault and Christian Millau have much in common. Both are 44-year-old Sunday cooks and year-round gourmets-curiously slight of paunch considering their present trade-who once worked as reporters on the now defunct Paris Presse. The solidest bond between the two is the joy they share in debunking the culinary canons of their fellow Frenchmen. They condone serving red wine with fish, accept Israelite gras as only "slightly inferior" to the product of Strasbourg and advise housewives to shorten the cooking hours of those long, loving, simmering stews. They have even dared to question butter...
LIKE OTHER imperial powers, Tsarist Russia was motivated by several factors as it expanded. Originally landlocked, Russia sought year-round ports with open access to trade routes.

Mendelsohn and Harvard have avoided such a choice and in 1960, he was awarded his Ph.D. In 1969, after 14 years of teaching and one year as an overseas fellow at Cambridge University, Mendelsohn became a full professor. "I like what I do" he says. "I like the teaching and I like the research." He also likes Cambridge--"an exciting place"--where he has become firmly rooted year-round with his wife, son, and two daughters. But Mendelsohn has had to be always wary of academic inertia. "The University, at times, likes to fool itself," he says wryly. "It seemed...
EMIL HANSLIN, 52. One of the most innovative mass home builders. Pioneered in clustering houses in recreational development of New Seabury, on Cape Cod, Mass. (1962). There, also built "special interest" villages for golfers, sailors, horsemen. Also used special groupings in a year-round planned community at Middletown, Conn. Invented idea of saving open land at Eastman, N.H., vacation-home project; each landowner gives a piece of land back to community. Newest project is farthest out: a religiously oriented, back-to-the-land community on 1,300-acre farm in Grantham...
