Even for White House Chef Henry Haller, preparing a sit-down dinner for 1,340 people who were dropping by on short notice was a bit of a challenge. The 1,100 Ibs. of strip sirloin had to be cooked at the Mayflower Hotel, six blocks away because the Executive Mansion did not have enough oven space. One other problem was that 110 of the meals had to be kosher. Schleiders Caterers of Baltimore did not get the call until Saturday, but they were able to prepare kosher meals similar to the regular fare that would be served...
...night long, and I kept looking to it for scores from other games. But there were none. In their stead, I learned, you could pay to have your own "personal" message printed electronically on The Big "A"; thus, all night, an endless stream of "Welcome to Fred and Betty Haller on their fifteenth wedding anniversary," and "Welcome to Howie Johnson, who is attending his first baseball game." You too can be a member of The Big "A" family--for a price...
...grim, Depressionera morning-after the gala twenties, when the oilmen and farmers came in droves. Now the money and water are gone, the land parched and worthless. All that's left is the dust--huge, billowing black clouds of destruction and death rumbling across the prairie.

Low-profile Anchor Man Robert MacNeil thought the toasts banal even by the dull standards pertaining to events of this sort; Cooking Expert Julia Child - her usual burbling self as she nibbled and chatted with White House Chef Henry Haller - let fly publicly at the undignified quality of the showfolks' contributions; and Upstairs, Downstairs' Jean Marsh took politely dim views of everything from American vegetables to the institution of monarchy. The PBS cameras, fighting through the longueurs of the event and the difficulties imposed by protocol, did manage...
...this film, made from his most popular novel, Hesse takes a fearful pummeling at the hands of one Fred Haines, who visited similar punishment on James Joyce in his screenplay for Ulysses (1967). The protagonist of Steppenwolf, the book's readers will recall, is Harry Haller, a writer enraptured with despair. He plans suicide, if only he can work himself up to it. He is also schizoid: he sees himself as both a bourgeois and a fierce maverick, a prowling, implacable wolf of the steppes. An encounter with a beautiful young woman of mystery, Hermine (Dominique Sanda), brings...
