personnel seemed all the
more like some contrived
feat of a time machine.
Otherwise the two dinners
were very similar. Both

crowds estimated at close to
5000. Both had entertain

ment, and q speech by a
President Of the United
States. Both had the same
shape tables and arrange
ment of tables. Only the
Democrats had pink bal
looms on the small tables
and pink carnations on the
head tables, while the Re-
publicans used artificial red
carnations and blue flowers
on white tableclothes for a
red, white and blue motif
that was repeated in the
ribbon and flowers on the
head table and the huge
American flag behind it.
The Republicans had a
slightly better meal-beef-
steak, string beans, potatoes,
sliced head of lettuce salad
and fresh macaroons with
ice cream in elephant molds
but then 1t probably cost
them more.
