...Club, a popular event during the early part of the century, was abandoned during the twenties. Sometimes the 25th Reunion Class would present mock degrees, but there was no hard and fast rule about this.

The only nightclub in the world roomy enough to fly such a banner is improbably located on the tawrdry, whiffy flatlands near the southernmost tip of Brooklyn. The Town & Country, sometimes referred to as "Miami Beach in Flatbush," is a 45-minute drive and a $6 cab fare from Manhattan, but it fields a line of first-class talent most clubs would hock their silverware to buy.
