...sympathies to Berkeley's Haller, who seems to have fallen under the random eye of your report on college teaching, under the heading "Harsh Judgments."

Though Haller's main job will be to cook for official dinners and luncheons, he is an accomplished cuisine czar in his own right and will also supervise Mrs. Kaltman's "central storage service," which supplies all three White House kitchens...
...course, there will be problems and conflicts," said Haller. "That's life. I can cook in any language." Even if he has to cook Pedernales-style once in a while, Haller will be closer to the cult of Escoffier than Verdon, who resigned in its cause.
