...usual fractious party conclave at a slightly seamy seaside resort that Britons have come to know and sometimes dread. Burnishing its image as the new model of British politics, the Social Democratic Party chartered a special train (promptly dubbed the "Flying Moderate" by some, the "Smoked Salmon Special" by others) for its first conference last week and took its show on the road for a rollicking six-day, three-city, thousand-mile extravaganza. The tour ingeniously gave each of the party's four leaders, Roy Jenkins, Shirley Williams, William Rodgers and David Owen, who are all former Labor Cabinet...
...with a proposal to build a hydroelectric plant there. Company stockholders were receptive because the dam faced financial troubles. The Department of the Interior had ordered the company to construct a $1.5 million fish ladder to help the Merrimack River's growing schools of Atlantic salmon move upstream to spawn. The company stockholders agreed to sell out to the investment group, which later formed a partnership with E G & G, a Wellesley, Mass., energy-equipment company (1980 sales: $613 million).

There is some question about the roses, which are to arrive by air from New York. But the yellow, white and salmon hybrids make it. Down in the basement, the White House floral director, Dottie Temple, supervises the arrangement of 768 roses in table settings...
...White House chef since 1966. The strike has not affected his operation because the dressed birds for the dinner's main course-suprême of royal squab Véronique-were flown in several days earlier from New York. The choice of squab, to come between cold salmon and an intimidatingly rich dessert of fresh peach mousse cardinal, was a late decision by Nancy Reagan. The original selection had been duckling with glazed apples, but she felt that there had been too many canards in the White House lately...
