Among the requested foods that will appear more often on the menu are steak, Indian food, potstickers, and fish. Herb-baked salmon will be served for lunch tomorrow, and those not going to Yale this Saturday will have curry and naan for dinner instead of the sticky rice...

Staffed with brainy graduates of Yale and Harvard law schools, Craig's office was an instant power center in the White House, able to produce answers, memos and ideas seemingly overnight while other parts...
