Muffins

Capital issues GEORGE F.WILL

As one who likes English muffins, I was pleased to note that Mr. Ford does too. And it was fun seeing him toast them and butter them and eat them, in living color, on the evening news, on all three networks. OK. Now that we’ve seen him make breakfast, what’s next? Don’t ask. If a television reporter gets it into his head that he would like some film footage of the 38 th President in his presidential shower, it shall be done. A “photo opportunity” (for nostalgia buffs, that is Zieglerese for “picture”) will be arranged. That is the way the White House press office operates under press secretary Jerry terHorst.
