...ovation, Callas greeted Harry S. Truman with a courtly "I am honored," made her manners to Kansas Governor George Docking, who was also in the audience, even attended a post-concert party at the River Club where she danced with local millionaires and nibbled caviar snacks, an "almost blue" filet mignon and the "Delice Callas" dessert (peppermint ice cream, brandy-flavored chocolate, meringue, whipped cream, pistachio nuts...
Boston Democrats never had a more successful fund-raising dinner than last week's testimonial for John E. Powers, candidate for mayor. The faithful turned out 2,190 strong for filet mignon at $100 a plate, and by evening's end, Powers' nomination was put down as a political certainty. Nobody minded much that the state's top Democrat, Presidential Hopeful Jack Kennedy, was off on Senate business, for he was represented in the two seats of honor by brother Ted and by Powers himself, a leading Kennedy lieutenant. Perhaps it was better, thought some, that...
When Donald Kleinschmidt, 29, a machinist, sat down to dinner in Haddon Heights, N.J. last Tuesday, his wife Margaret had filet of flounder for the family-twins Donald and Donna, 6, David, 4, and Dale, 3.

Largely responsible for last week's success was Dwight Eisenhower himself. Pink-cheeked and purple-tied, Ike found his head table seat like a Rotary Club regular, ate filet mignon (rare) while 480 paying guests struggled with minute steak. He chatted amiably with tablemates, helped pass along scribbled suggestions from the floor for his own postdessert question-and-answer session to Press Club President John V. Horner of the Washington Evening Star. No sooner did the questions start than radio mikes opened, three television cameras blinked red, and a daytime audience of millions began watching the second live...
...answer to a Kubitschek letter (TIME, June 16) saying that "something must be done," were delivered in Rio by Roy Rubottom, Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs. After he delivered the note, Rubottom talked privately in Kubitschek's office for 95 minutes, continued over a filet mignon luncheon in the palace dining room. The two set a time-the week of Aug. 4-for a Brazilian visit by Secretary of State Dulles, and agreed to the idea of a conference of the Americas' foreign ministers, possibly in Bogota, where Colombian President-elect Alberto Lleras Camargo...
