Dinners at the White House these days are so tasteful that nobody rushes to a phone later to chortle about the peanut soup and catfish paté.

A boy from Holland, told he would sleep in the "bunkhouse," what the family called their add-on bedroom, was visibly relieved to find that it wasn't, as in his Dutch-English dictionary, a toolshed in a field. Larilyn Carpenter, 56, a school principal in Waukesha, Wis., treasures the memory of her Brazilian "son" Luciano's tearing around outside her house late at night, rolling in his first...
