...portions are fit for an adolescent boy or a portly aging mafioso. Appetizers ($3-8) are convincingly disguised as entrees, entrees ($7-17) as next week's leftovers. Sauteed calamari arrive in a giant, steaming heap, covered by a light, fresh tomato sauce. Because the calamari are not breaded and fried, their flavor and freshness penetrate the domination of the tomato (that's right).

It was a memorable bread-and-butter note, a valentine to her host, the President, written in the prose of a Harlequin romance: she sees "a man in a dinner jacket with more heat than any star in the room...his height, his sleekness, his newly cropped, iron-filing hair." Forget, wrote Brown, "all the Beltway halitosis breathed upon his image...
