Presidential expert writes book highlighting White House cuisine

By Hillel Italie · Sunday, Oct. 28,2007 8:14 p.m.

NEW YORK – Barry H. Landau, a presidential collector and connoisseur, is the kind of guy one may not notice in the pictures with celebrities. He is 59 and has been in the company of presidents for nearly 50 years. He is tall and bearded, with a home full of history and a head crammed with names, like boxes in an overstuffed closet ready to tumble out.

Food Class-ification

By Anna Piontek · Sunday, Oct. 28,2007 6:40 p.m.

I, like many other Americans, grew up eating meatloaf, macaroni and cheese, hamburgers and other “comfort food.” But America is rebelling against its food culture. In the past decade or so, America has quite possibly undergone a food revolution. My house – a middle-class, Midwestern-rooted home with access to the Food Network – has changed its culinary habits in the extreme, and I have a feeling we are not alone.

Eco education

Oh, backhanded compliments. Where would we be without them? There is nothing like hearing how good of a job you’ve done on something, only to find that statement followed by some sort of soul-crushing qualifier. Well, recently, our University has become the object of a sort-of-but-not-really compliment, and deservedly so.

Halloween and hallowoes

By John Barnett and Stefania Marghitu · Sunday, Oct. 28,2007 6:37 p.m.

Halloween is the most magical holiday around. For one night, we can be whoever we want to be. When we were kids, it was all about being our favorite Disney character or who we wanted to be when we grew up. Our goal was to consume as much candy as we could, which led to candy hangovers the next day. This special holiday changes as we get older, however.

Damage control

By Brian J. McFillen · Sunday, Oct. 28,2007 6:36 p.m.

This is probably bad for business, but events this week have moved me to offer up a bit of advice to government officials, executives, celebrities and anyone else who might find themselves on the receiving end of bad press: Roll with it. Make your counter-arguments, issue apologies, change your ways, do public relations damage control, whatever – just don’t try to stonewall the press.

Billing our GIs

Sunday, Oct. 28,2007 6:34 p.m.

The phrase “Support the troops” is quite popular these days. It’s the fallback motto for any politician to cue a round of applause and an agreeable bumper sticker. But when support is truly needed, it seems that many of us have forgotten what this phrase really means. This is surely what went through the minds of troops from the 1st Battalion, 133rd Infantry, a National Guard unit based out of Iowa, who were denied GI Bill benefits because some of their orders were for less than the cut-off of 730 days.

Tibetan traditions

By Chelsea Merta · Friday, Oct. 26,2007 12:21 a.m.

A 60-foot tapestry of an intricate, colorful Buddha set the stage for a performance by the monks of the Drepung Gomang Monastery. Flanked by tables of chandeliers with lotus-shaped lights, the wall covering displayed the religious deity surrounded by five Buddhists saints. A large throne sat in the middle of the stage, where the monks placed a photo of the Dalai Lama.

IU to take on Wisconsin

By Tom Kir · Friday, Oct. 26,2007 12:20 a.m.

Seeking their sixth win of the season – one that would grant them bowl eligibility – the Hoosiers (5-3, 2-3) will go back on the road Saturday to face Wisconsin (6-2, 2-2), a team that handed them a demoralizing home defeat last season.
