...lavish grand salon. There is an art gallery, a library and a sauna in the master bedroom. Suede and leather love seats, divans and marble tables are conveniently placed, and for entertainment, Sony videotape monitors and a Thomas electric organ are available. In the gourmet galley, the chef can whip up virtually any dish from terrine of duck to soul food-served with Waterford crystal, Reed and Barton silver and gilded Noritake china...

...year around the White House, détente has a second meaning: harmony between Pat Nixon and the kitchen. Last week relations were superb. Assistant Chef Hans Raffert fashioned a two-foot-high house out of 16½ pounds of gingerbread, mortared it together with six pounds of icing, shingled it with five pounds of cookies, and decorated it with gumdrops, a pound of hard candy and a dozen peppermint canes. An embassy child stood spellbound before this creation, reached out and broke off a piece of the front and popped it in his mouth...
