...Convention (RNC) heaped scorn not just on Barack Obama but also on his running mate, who apparently goes by the name Themedia Elite.

I was a guest of Mollie Katzen, the celebrated cookbook writer and advisor to the Harvard University Dining Services. Dr. Kathy McManus, the Director of Nutrition at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, was my chauffeur and confidante. The rock star of baked goods, Mark Furstenberg, served...
