Guests, who paid $1,325 to $2,670 for the trip, could experience the thrust and heave of great tectonic plates of nourishment at prebreakfast, breakfast, midmorning bouillon, lunch, tea, a five-course dinner and, of course, midnight buffet. Jay Johnson, 23, a well- and happily fed store owner from Durham, N.C., speared a chunk of king crab and admitted that anyplace else ''it would cost me a fortune to eat like this.''

Since executive sessions are held in secret and only the later convention meeting was open to the press, newsmen did not know Hall...
