...that the traditional photograph of the summit leaders will be taken in a monastery courtyard, rather than at the lagoon's edge. The summiteers will eat well, as in the past, though the U.S. President may enjoy his meals the most: menus are studded with such Reagan favorites as risotto and rib roast...
...kitchen. There, in the tradition of Julia Child and other thoughtful instructors, she will instruct how much of a dish can be made in advance, a great boon to anyone entertaining dinner guests.

Then a walk down to the piazza to buy the Paris Herald (for black-market quotations). Lunch at the hotel was usually risotto with meat, salad, wine, pastry, fruit, coffee. After a two-hour siesta, a walk to the Marina Piccolo to swim off the steep rocks, then back to the piazza to drink iced vermouth (70 lire, one dime,). Then dinner at the hotel (veal scaloppine, salad, spaghetti, bread, butter, cheese, wine...
