...been a benediction as much as an endorsement from the most revered members of America's most storied Democratic clan, bestowed upon a presidential contender who had been born the same year that John F. Kennedy had declared that a torch had been passed to a new generation. And for a moment there, it was a bit overwhelming for Barack Obama. As Obama came backstage at American University's Bender Arena after working the ropeline with Senator Edward M. Kennedy, he told me: "That was pretty strong. I gotta admit, I had to clamp it down...

...Romney is, at heart, the geeky consultant he spent his life becoming. He is a salesman and a number-cruncher, a goofball and a social stiff. He literally will talk about humor as something that can be decided upon in the boardroom. "We had a team of people, several teams who came together and said, 'What do we want to have as part of our corporate culture, our enterprise culture?' " he explained Saturday of his effort to save the Salt Lake City Olympics. "And one of the rules we had was we were going to have fun. And the first...

...skirl o' the bagpipes, even more dramatic by virtue of being played indoors, accompanies the "great chieftain o' the puddin-race" born aloft to the table by a chef. Then, a wild-eyed Scotsman recites Robert Burns' poem Address To a Haggis, and upon reaching the line, "An' cut ye up wi' ready sleight," he plunges a dagger into the taut sheep's stomach amid cheers from the diners. In a ritual repeated by Scots across the globe on Burns Night, January 25, the birthday in 1759 of their most cherished poet, the attack on the main course continues...

...which, Ozersky fears, will be ruined by the big-name chefs. "I think these guys don't really get burgers," he says. "They all want to tweak it and one-up each other, so they use Kobe beef and truffles, but it can't be improved upon. All these efforts are doomed to folly." Which, at least, is something about burgers I agree with him on. After all, if we could make ground beef better by adding stuff, we'd be driving though Meat Loaf Kings...
