...often. One evening she served the same stuffed peppers she used to have in their Alexandria, Va., kitchen and was roundly kidded by her guests. A budget watcher, even with her husband's $200,000 salary, Mrs. Ford recently instructed Chef Henry Haller on how to make pot roast. "With turnips?" asked the amazed chef. She insisted: "That's just the way we have it at home." The relaxed style does not stop at the White House gates. Mrs. Ford, with her personal assistant Nancy Howe, who affectionately calls the First Lady "Petunia," runs many...
...served drinks from silver trays to President Gerald Ford, a handful of aides and his four guests: Historian Daniel Boorstin, Harvard Government Professor James Q. Wilson, Woodrow Wilson Fellow Martin Diamond and Chicago Lawyer John Robson. The group moved to a first floor dining room for a meal of roast beef, mixed vegetables and fruit salad.

Wearing a mustard shirtdress, she gracefully fielded the mandatory housekeeping questions. Inflation had hit the Fords, she acknowledged: "We don't eat as much steak or roast beef as the boys would like." And she spoke to Moms everywhere: "I'm dumbfounded the children have adjusted so well to the change." But after she nailed her colors to the Equal Rights Amendment, she slipped.
