Fortunately, Verdon, 41, seldom had to confect family meals, which are usually prepared in a separate second-floor kitchen by Mrs. Zephyr Wright, the Johnson cook for 23 years. At $ 10,000 a year, he was hardly overpaid-but then how many chefs can boast that they slept in the White House for nearly five years? René's reign was not seriously threatened until last October, when Mrs. Mary Kaltman, an old family friend and a veteran director of foods at such epicurean establishments as Harlingen Air Force Base and Austin's Driskill Hotel-whose manager describes...

He worked under handicaps far more severe than those that usually bedevil
...largely white audience applauded the verdict. Then the defendants shook hands with friends and happily posed for photographers. Their elation may have been premature. Cook, the Hoggle brothers and Kelley still face a federal charge of conspiracy to deprive a citizen of his civil rights.
