...glamor spots are short on entertainment, long on drinking, atmosphere, names, the bill. Snooty, half filled with celebrities, half with celebrity-chasers, offering Lucullan food but not even the twang of a guitar, is Jack & Charlie's legendary "21."

In particular the Chamber was pointing for a helpful tax bill, which Senator Bankhead's move, if adopted, would make impossible.
