Under Dwight Eisenhower, a state dinner, served with military precision, might feature such Army-wife specialties as Mamie's cherished Chicken Jewel Salad Ring, a cloying confection that included cranberries, celery and almonds, epoxied with gelatin.

He limits lunch to a salad or cottage cheese with ketchup, though he occasionally succumbs to ice cream. No teetotaler, he likes to polish off a hard day's politicking with two or three dry martinis with a pair of olives in each. Ford's colleagues are astounded by his stamina. He has been known...
