...tells her, adding as an afterthought, "with those English tourists mixed in." "The ones from the Rolls-Royce?" she asks. "There must be some of your husband too," the voice answers. She continues eating with no reaction. The word "fin" appears on the screen, enlarged at once to "fin du conte" and then changed to "fin du cinema." The sequence reveals Godard's awareness that in Weekend he destroyed the only cinema he loves--the American narrative ("conte") film...
...Poher, whom he defeated in the two-round election that chose Charles de Gaulle's successor. Together, victor and vanquished walked to the elegant Salle des Fêtes, where other officials and guests had assembled. A chamber ensemble that had been playing Lully's Les Mousquetaires du Roy fell silent. The president of the Constitutional Council, which oversees elections, stepped forward to proclaim Pompidou as President. Then the grand chancellor of the Legion of Honor slipped around Pompidou's neck the heavy chain of a grand master of the order, symbolic of the Presidency...

Still, attracted by a $1,000,000-a-year advertising campaign, customers are flocking to Ellman's restaurants in startling numbers. Orangerie serves about 5,200 meals a week, and an offshoot of Ellman's original Cattleman, the Cattleman West, which opened last February, is already serving 1,250 people a day. Those figures are immensely satisfying to Proprietor Ellman, a onetime student of accounting from Brooklyn whose...
