This wasn't any old fund raiser: it was held for the Louvre, in the Louvre - in the vaulted Galerie Daru at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the Winged Victory of Samothrace. There, seated at two immense mirrored tables decorated with yellow orchids - and surrounded by 2,000-year-old statues of Roman emperors, including a naked Julius Caesar - the guests dined on asparagus soufflé and veal noisettes before...

This spring the lake fell so low that 40,000 acres of its exposed bottom burned out of control, along with 40,000 acres of the perennially parched Everglades National Park...
