Dans le journal IHT: Chacun à son goût, or, why we eat turkey
Dans l'International Herald Tribune d'aujourd'hui.


"Mrs. Paris Singer was attending a garage sale in Bethesda when she came across a yellowed newspaper clipping dated 1952. It was titled "Explaining Thanksgiving to the French." She bought it for ten dollars. Much to her surprise, when she took it to an expert at the Library of Congress, he told her it was a collector's item, and there were only five of them left in the world. It was valued at $80,000. It now hangs in Mrs. Singer's living room under glass."

1. Comme quoi pour une américaine s'intéresser à la fois aux dindes et...
aux français peut prendre de la valeur.
