Fueled by a lavish buffet, 1,600 bottles of a pleasant, non-vintage champagne and rivers of stronger stuff, the guests twirled and twisted until breakfast.

He had never been anywhere farther flung than a pension on the French Riviera. His name...

Last week businessmen in the pine-covered foothills of the Rockies were bitterly divided over the proposed construction of an institution to be called Rampart College.
