...railroad stations are the basis of a chain of classic-building dining places. A San Francisco-based corporation owns 29 Victoria Station restaurants across the U.S. (nine more are being completed); guests dine inside 50-ft.-long boxcars, salad is served from old baggage carts, brakemen's lanterns light the tables, and a treasury of railroad relics line the walls. To ensure an ample supply of artifacts, the company has just bought the entire East Grinstead Station in England, well known to Sherlock Holmes fans...
During this stay, in contrast to most of his previous visits to San Clemente, the President did not dine out, go for a drive or even play golf. Early in the week he attended a private party at Budget Director Roy Ash's mansion in Bel Air, a lavish gathering of 150 old California friends and supporters. A few days later he flew into Los Angeles by helicopter to deliver his televised economic address before a sympathetic, if somewhat restrained audience of 1,700 business leaders at the Century Plaza Hotel. The speech, billed as an effort to rally...

...world is probably about evenly divided between delayers and do-it-nowers. There are those who prepare their income taxes in February, prepay mortgages and serve precisely planned dinners at an ungodly 6:30 p.m. The other half dine happily on leftovers at 9 or 10, misplace bills and file for an extension of the income tax deadline. They seldom pay credit-card bills until the apocalyptic voice of Diners threatens doom from Denver. They postpone, as Faustian encounters, visits to barbershop, dentist or doctor...
With his sparrow eyes and landmark beak, Leonard Lyons was a more recognizable fixture at Manhattan's expensive restaurants than any six headwaiters. He came not to dine but to gather crumbs of gossip, morsels of color-occasionally some meaty news-about any celebrity he could buttonhole in his non stop table-hopping. Was Joe DiMaggio flying to New York "for some dates at El Morocco"? Lyons heard it there and so reported. What did Artur Rubinstein's wife cook for dinner the night before? The pianist gave Lyons the answer (Polish chicken...
