Meanwhile, Canfield, growing increasingly tired of his boring, upper crust wife (who Agnew writes comes from "North Philadelphia," which happens to be that city's largest black ghetto), falls for Meredith Lord, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. Lord, who is beautiful as well as political ("The cloth clung to and outlined her shapely legs with every sinuous stride"), is interested in Canfield not only for his aristocratic good looks but because he can help her obtain funding for her pet program, a medical-aid bill known as THC (Total Health Care...
...Barbara Walters' cloth-covered bedside table in her West 57th Street Manhattan apartment-next to the lacquered box she brought back from Jackie Kennedy's 1962 trip to India, the hand-carved backscratcher from Gerald Ford's visit to China last December, and all the other gewgaws gathered in her hectic travels-there sit two alarm clocks.

Champagne glasses litter every ledge; empty bottles cover the pool table (draped with a white cloth for the occasion). Everyone waves the bubbly with reckless dash over the floor or other people. The stuff flows freely; those present have paid $12.50 apiece for this status, but there is no cash in sight. All the green paper-work has been taken care of beforehand, cleaned...
