...delegates pay for their own travel and room expenses. They come to Boston every year for the HMUN, armed with Roberts' Rules, the latest jokes in international relations, and inexhaustible quantities of alcohol and marijuana. A bellboy stops me in the lobby and smiles -- "they must have ten pushers working overtime," he says. The delegate from Guyana sends a glass of Kool-Aid to the chairman of the Disarmament Committee. Love notes, disguised as cogent policy discussions among delegations and neighboring nations, roam through the committee...
...city's first citizen is probably Edward E. Carlson, 66, who rose from bellboy to president and chairman of Western International Hotels and then became head of United Air Lines when it acquired the hotel chain. Though United's headquarters is in Chicago, Carlson lives in Seattle and commutes between the two cities.

But it never really worked. When anti-heroin crusader Doyle busts a bellboy for a joint in his back pocket the filmmakers are testing the audience's sympathies too much. And all was subservient to the immortal Chase...
...telephoned the management, which quickly summoned police. The officers interviewed victims and members of the hotel staff, and by around 9 a.m. narrowed the possible suspects to Aaron Legrand and Edward Steadley, who had checked into their first-floor room two days before. A policeman dressed as a bellboy went up to their room with the bill, and when one of the pair opened the door part way and asked him to slide it under the door, the officer, backed up by two other armed policemen, broke in and arrested the two men. They were later charged with robbery, rape...
