...fancy nor so noisy as Mrs. Evalyn McLean's, so exclusive as Mrs. Truxtun Beale's, so smart as Mme. Bonnet's at the French embassy. Her menus are adequate but not sumptuous. At the Alben Barkley dinner last week, the 24 guests had turtle soup, filet of beef, peas, browned potatoes, aspic salad, and a rum-and-ice-cream dessert...
...Queen's Taste (Mon. 8:05 p.m., CBS) is the confection of Mrs. Dione Lucas, a cook who knows her sauteed onions.

On Christmas Day, 1944, Sergeant Chappuis rode in a B-25 as radioman and gunner, on his first mission. The target: a railroad bridge in Italy...
...York Democrats were eating high on the hog. At Manhattan's Hotel Commodore, 1,300 diners paid $100 a plate for a meal of crab meat in avocado pear figaro, consommé de volaille madrilene, paupiette of Boston sole Marguery, filet mignon sauté with mushroom colbert, salad chiffonade Argenteuil, bombe vanilla sur socle with black cherries jubilee. Cocktails and two kinds of wine were thrown...
