    Stumblers like this keep me coming back. I am enthralled by virtually everything here. Intelligent, well researched and entertaining. Thank you! "Ever since I read this Vanity Fair article, I'm really looking forward to seeing the new movie about Julia Child. To me, the most fascinating dimension of her life was her marriage to Paul Child, described here as "a worldly intellectual with a poetic sensibility, an artist and photographer who relished wine, women, and song, he designed war rooms for General (Lord) Mountbatten in Kandy and for General Wedemeyer in Kunming. Paul thought Julia unworldly, unfocused, and doubtless a virgin--"a hungry hayseed" is how she would describe herself--but also steady, game, a "classy dame," and "brave," he wrote his twin brother, Charlie, "about being an old maid!" He was 42 to her 32, five feet ten to her six feet two. He was looking for a soulmate, but had counted Julia out. And yet their sure-footed friendship, forged over Indo-Asian food and shared danger, was climbing, slipping, into love. Which led to bed. And then, in 1946, when the war was over, marriage"" "Besides the fact that I have always dreamed of a sure-footed friendship, forged over Indo-Asian food and shared danger which climbs and slips into love, what also touches me is what this article suggests, even if it does not say-- that Paul was Julia's male muse par excellance. It was he who introduced her to french cuisine and set her on the path to composing her magnum opus, The Art of French Cooking."

    "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." Wittgenstein, T.L.P. 5.6 stole from Perko's ... always an education and a rebuke ... done by the magic of synchronicity.
