French Fried: The Culinary Capers of an American in Paris, by Harriet Welty Rochefort, 2001. Harriet continues her attempts to demystify the French with French Fried, the saucy-sometimes spicy - and often hilarious tale of one American woman's 30-year foray into the byzantine world of French cuisine. And when it comes to food, Rochefort's experiences are anything but dull or traditional. When she first arrives in France, she dines on onion soup with her concierge. When she finally gets a decent apartment with a kitchen it turns out that there's both a shower - and a cop - in it.

Harriet's Not Afraid -
Richard Erickson -
Harriet Welty Rochefort and I have
something in common. Between us, we've lived in or near
Paris for a combined total of 55 years. This explains
how we almost blow our first rendez-vous.
Letter From Paris -
Harriet Welty-Rochefort -
An American friend of ours, a history professor who visits Paris every few
years, told us on his most recent trip that "the French have become so
dear, so polite." He recounts sitting in a café where he was given someone
else's order. "Twenty years ago," he says, "the waiter would have plunked
it down in front of me and told me it was my problem, not his. This one
apologized politely, speedily took the wrong drink away, and brought back
the right one with a smile."
The Paris Commune of 1871 -
Norman Barth -
The story of the Paris Commune is an important, but complicated one
In this short piece, Norman tries to communicate the grand lines of
what happened, using sources not too far removed from the events themselves.
For a brief period of time in the Spring of 1871 the first revolution in which the working class
played a central role came to be.
