I wrote my ?Daily Journal? column today about how the term ?epicurean? has take on a meaning in modern usage entirely different from the teachings of the man being referred to, Epicurus, and that this represented an astonishingly successful use of propaganda.
Then I read in the Shelby newspaper about a real-estate property on the market there called the Epicurean. Yep, you guessed it ? used to be a gourmet shop.
