' " "V,1 ' Ji'im : .n FREEDOM BRIDGE SHELLED BY RUSSIANS Frozen Hungarians help one another cross the "bridge of freedom" over the Einsen Canal near A n d a u, Austria. The bridge was damaged by shells from a Soviet tank as the Russians sought to stem the flow of Hungarians fleeing into Austria. A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS Unittd Preit Featur WriMr mm Harman Nichols Washington (U.R) ' When you have lunch with Maurice Dreicer, you might as well plan . on taking the whole day off. Maurie is a gourmet who makes a fancy living out of being fussy about his steaks and his drinks. My friend was here to attend a meeting of International notel men. He knows consider able about dining around the world. He has put bib to chin in some 12,000 eateries, good and bad. And you cant' mention a country he hasn't supped in. Mostly, he looks for the per fect steak which, h claims, isn't to be found outside his own home. Having set tooth to some of the great man's cooking, I would be willing to give odds that you couldn't find a better steak any plaee. Gold Butter Knif Maurie, of course, never has found the perfect steak. I have a suspicion that he hopes he never will. He runs around hand ing out solid gold buttef knives, to chefc who come up with near milies. But to get back .to having lunch with trie man who has grown a little tlump from eating rich food. And writing books about same. When he' orders, he specifies iust how th martini is to be ade. Not shook up. Just stir red, and no olives, please. m"Aa olive," he ays, "gives a man the hiccoughs and doesn't give a martini anything that it didn't have before it was dump ed in the glass." - Maurie has been around a long time. And he thinks that the Eu ropeans and the Latins have the right idea: Have the right kind of food and the right kind of wine or whatever for each change of service. And take your time. Cigar, lounging and coffee after a good meal. Chew over the events of the day, local, national and international. "It's good for the digestion," says the fancy eater. Half Day Lunches That reminded me of the last time I was in France. The French take just about hatf a day to eat lunch. And lunch includes loaf after loaf of bread that, if it wasn't sawed up, would look like the horns of a Texas steer You have to keep chawing. For a gulp-and-run newspaper man this was every disturbing. A one-arm beanery in most American towns doesn't cotton to loitering. Nor chit-chat after the coffee when the table could be hired by the next customer or two. In France, it Is bad manners to smoke between courses. I reckon I shocked the likes of Maurice Hennessy, who makes that cognac. Between courses, all I said to my host was: "Do you mind if I smoke?" There was a floor of silence. I lit up, anyhow. I was, of course, wearing bad manners. The food was good, so was the wine. I wasn't invited back. Mayhap I never will be. I was just being me.
