Miss Manners' idea of democracy is a society in which the upper and lower classes revere the same standard of graciousness, Martin wrote in her national bestseller, "Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behaviour," a 700-page volume which deals with etiquette dilemmas from circumcision rites to old family silver...
...slap at the ACSR, which has been struggling recently to erase its image of powerlessness. ACSR members wondered: just how important can our advice be, if the Corporation won't make the cursory effort to screen companies out of its portfolio that fail to meet the minimum standards of behaviour in South Africa?

He had been introduced to the house years earlier by one of its inhabitants, Sebastian Flyte (Andrews), an Oxford classmate renowned for "his beauty, which was arresting, and his eccentricities of behaviour, which seemed to know no bounds." In the flashbacks arising from Ryder's bittersweet memories, Sebastian gives long, champagne-inspired lunches in his rooms and, in an extravagant undergraduate fantasy, carries with him everywhere a large Teddy bear named Aloysius. Charles and Sebastian form a strong attachment and probably...
