...stock of the Société des Bains de Mer, an Edwardian sprawl of properties that includes the casino, the yacht club, the 60-year-old Hótel de Paris and about one-third of Monaco's 375 acres. Bien, thought Rainier, Ari will also bring in his rich friends, make the roulette wheels spin as they used to before the war-and use the S.B.M.'s reserves to build some nice sandy beaches, which Monaco badly needs in the bikini era.
