Then, as his listeners sipped Riesling wine and broke bread rolls to stave off predinner hunger pangs, Bush unveiled his pièce de résistance: a letter from President Reagan to "the people of Europe." It said: "Just as our allies can count on the United States to defend Europe at all cost, you can count on us to spare no effort to reach a fair and meaningful agreement that will reduce the Soviet nuclear threat. I have asked Vice President Bush to propose to Soviet General Secretary Andropov that he and I meet wherever and whenever...

...course, mes chers, you will stay away from such spots and follow Gault-Millau to the very special places of New York and, indeed, l'Amérique. Say your prayers and hope that André Soltner may accommodate you at Lutèce, by any measure one of the world's finest French restaurants. The authors rate equally high The Four Seasons, where vraiment the courtesy, the ambience, the efficiency as well as the food are "an amazement." Be adventurous like your French ancestors there: cross the bridge and dine in le vrai Brooklyn, at the Continental...
