- Simon Schama's Citizens: A Chronicle of the French
- Revolution makes fascinating reading (BOOKS, April 17). Of
- particular interest are the minor events described, such as the
- account of the hapless Marquis de Condorcet, who gave himself
- away as an aristocrat when he asked for an omelet of a dozen
- eggs. One can't help wondering whether this is the earliest
- evidence that excess cholesterol can kill.
