American Views Abroad

 
How often does one open up the business pages of the IHT these days and come upon a heart-warming report along these lines: Let them eat brioche! Town saves bakery by Sarah Schweitzer. Not just any bakery, but a real French one and the town is a small rural one in New Hampshire that is being hit hard by lay-offs and businesses closing. Citizens of an American town rising up and fighting to keep something that at first seemed so alien, but in the end proved a smashing success and something they simply didn't want to live without, even in hard times. Alas, a story worth smiling about.
