At the 2 p.m. meeting, which convened in the FDA Teacher's Cafeteria, [Maurice A. Buckley] and McGin- , ley discussed various aspects of the conference, which is named in honor of the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Albert Schweitzer. An acclaimed physician who was born in Alsace-Lorraine, a region in northwestern France, Dr. Schweitzer had tremendous faith in young people, especially pertaining to their "future leadership roles and serving mankind." In this regard, he said, "I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve. This is all in keeping with one of Buckley's beHefe that travel is the best way to break down the barriers of ignorance. He shares: "Young people m...
The Alsace-Lorraine regions in France conjure images of desperate battlefields, acres of bucolic American war cemeteries and every reason on earth why war is bad. The regions also offer great travel opportunities with splendid, salient vistas, quiet little villages and, of course, regional culinary delights. As an introduction to this area, we spent three wonderful days in Strasbourg, the intellectual and economic capital of Alsace and home of the European Council. The city sits on the bank of the River Ill and is crisscrossed with languid canals, allowing another way to get from place to place.
WASHINGTON -- As a gaggle of 20- and 30-somethings crowded into Bistrot Lepic's wine bar on a recent Tuesday night, jockeying for a chance to sample free glasses of wine from France's Alsace-Lorraine and Languedoc regions, owner Bruno Fortin recalled how four years ago he and his partner were unsure whether the bar would succeed. I wanted a place where we could go have fun, smoke -- when smoking was allowed," he said. "We did it for ourselves. Then it became popular.
Q A word that I hear all the time and that always gets on my nerves is "opt." People are always "opting" to do one thing or another. Why can't they just "choose" instead? It seems pretty obvious that "opt" must be related in some way to "option," but where exactly did this irritating little verb come from and how did it get so popular? - B.T., Franconia, N.H.A: You may not like "opt," but once you've heard the story of its origins, you'll have to admit that it has an interesting background. The region of Alsace-Lorraine in what is now northeastern France has changed hands many times down through the centuries. One such change occurred in 1871, when the Treaty of Frankfurt ending the Franco-Prussian War stipulated that Alsace-Lorraine be ceded by France to Germany. (The French got it bac...

Quiche: First it was classic, then it supposedly became kitsch, and now it's making a comeback. The truth is, quiche has been around a long, long time, and it's not going away. This open-faced, savory pie originated in France's easternmost provinces, Lorraine and Alsace, along the German border. And while "quiche" is French, the name is derived from "kuchen," German for "cake. The best-known of all quiches, an authentic quiche Lorraine is rich with cream and eggs and heavy with bacon, yet it contains no cheese. Other traditional quiches incorporate not only cheese but seafood, ham, vegetables, and other amendments. Today these old- world specialties are sharing the stage with "new" quiche: streamlined contemporary versions with lighter fillings and leaner crusts, or no crust at all.
