A few young office folks pulled up their striped cuffs to scoop sprouts and avocados from the salad bar. Then came a guy with Bon Jovi hair and a black, flapping fringe coat; I didn't actually see what he bought, but it was heavy and clinked.

Nor is there much reason to believe that the insiders of today will be on top come January. Outsiders can take heart from Hamilton Jordan's infamous anti-Establishment bon mot of the 1976 campaign: "If Cy Vance and Zbigniew Brzezinski are in the Administration, then we have lost...
