Customers usually gravitate past the wooden Annie Oakley on the bench, the walls laden with Western and Hustead-family memorabilia, to one of the four scattered rooms of the café (seating for 550; breakfast starts at 6 a.m.). The special is a hot beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy ($2.98), but the menu also offers more exotic fare: a buffalo burger-yep, ground bison-for $1.55 and a selection of California wines. This last was Bill Hustead's idea: "I thought it would give the place a little class. I thought people chewing on a fishwich...
...take along a CARE package of cash. The annual survey by Britain's Financial Times reports that London, which last year was the most expensive destination in the world for an American, has fallen to 26th place among 100 major business cities. The cost of bed and breakfast at a first-class London hotel is now only $91.02, as compared with $137 in 1980. Brussels, fifth on the list last year, has plunged to 30th place...

It's the same sort of fanciful persiflage...

At the heart of the corporate effort was the "No Name Group," a little-known gathering of Washington lobbyists for the Chamber of Commerce and similar business associations. At their weekly breakfast at the Sheraton Carlton Hotel last week, the lobbyists had been supplied by the White House with the names of 43 Democratic Congressmen whose votes might be winnable. No Name was ready. Since the Chamber of Commerce is a presence in cities and towns of any size, the wires started...
