The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Fecamp, France "The good rich,"
Flemish school, 16th century. I visited in the museum of a Benedictine Abby in Normandy. Originated in 1510, the Benedictine monks produced a sweet liqueur now manufactured by their secular counterparts. "Every bottle bears the initials of the Latin dedication Deo Optimo Maximo [to God most good, most great]."
In Paris, however, the mostly bad and ugly emerges as seen Feburary 28,2006 in the NYTimes, A4 when a soup kitchen becomes political statement of the far right that excludes Muslims and Jews.
