...World Economic Forum. This year the gabfest has decamped from its mountain fastness in Davos, Switzerland, for the charms of midtown Manhattan, where the movers and shakers will discuss the state of the world and glide from one party to another. I'd bet a trayful of caviar canapes that none of them will make it to Canal Street. Too bad; they could learn more there than they ever will in the Waldorf-Astoria...
...sounds, cheating by using "piano" as a two-, then a three-syllable word in "I Love a Piano." A devilishly intricate rhyme a la Stephen Sondheim ("We'll have Leontyne Price to sing a/ Medley from 'Der Meistersinger'") was not Berlin's style - to Sondheim's caviar, his lyrics were Spam - but in "Annie Get Your Gun" he did a triple rhyme ("You can't shoot a male in the tail like a quail") whose comic force quickly escalates musically and in the singer's volume.

Oxfordesque high-table dining has been usurped by gangly groups grappling for their barbeque sauce and tater tots. Ms. FManners stands behind the beauty of a first-courseplatters of baked brie, fine caviar piled high and foie gras sliced with utmost care. But dining halls that were once symbols of refinement are now filled with vagabonds who nightly make a mockery of their first course. While frequenting salad bars for their leafy greens and balsalmic, diners oft-times leave their trays unattended in search...
