...Miincheners happily hurdle the language barrier to see themselves through Feehan's sharp eyes, pick up tips on fashionable fads, and be lectured on the proper way to broil a steak (rare-to-blue) or mix a martini (8-to-1). Feared or respected by every headwaiter in town, and greeted by readers on the street, Feehan long ago reached the goal of every U.S. columnist of his stripe: he is as famous in his city as any celebrity he writes about...

Next day reporters were allowed on the ranch to watch the President sign the social security bill and invited to stick around and watch him broil a dozen thick steaks on an outdoor grill. Hoover ambled up to the grill. As usual, he was grimly hanging onto his snap-brim hat. Ike invited Hoover to help with the steaks. Hoover seemed reluctant but finally complied when Ike gave him a long-handled fork and suggested: "Here...
