...with an ample, Venetian-style home on the ocean in La Jolla. He is said to have given Cunanan a dark green Infiniti and a monthly allowance as high as $2,500, and to have taken him to Paris. "Andrew always had an air about him," says waiter Jim Allen, who knew Cunanan in San Diego. "'Out of my way--I'm really busy right now. I'm wearing very expensive clothes.' He had one of those large, checkbook-size wallets. He'd open it, and you'd see rows of platinum credit cards. They were all in his name...

Check out the Website of software billionaire Paul Allen if you want a taste.) Inside this Beltway some grownups in their 20s and 30s are still obsessed with Captain Kirk. If they have any political interest, it's a lingering passion for Ayn Rand.
