...female's arrival as a drinking partner. Today women have invaded all but the oldest-line bastions of masculinity. "Women and country clubs have broken up the tradition," says a member of Manhattan's University Club, one of the first to install a ladies' cocktail lounge (in 1942). "Thirty years ago, women didn't care much about clubs; now they all want to join a country club. And what's worse, they want their husbands to hang around there with them...
Butlers & Bedspreads. Swimming pools, cocktail lounges, restaurants, wall-to-wall carpeting and TV-nowadays, they are just the beginning. Guests at the four su-permotels of the Aristocrat chain in Chicago hardly notice such conveniences when they are ensconced in the "Rogue Room"at the Essex Inn, which is decorated with paintings of nude ladies and boasts a circular bed surrounded by a curtain of beads, or in Room 908 in Ascot House, which is decorated in Japanese style and comes complete with kimonos for its occupants.

Though his parents are professional musicians (they play cocktail music together-mother on piano, father on drums), James learned most of his art on his own.

But Menon's contention that Ladakh was only "unoccupied territory" and Nehru's stance that he would...
Spaghetti & Seminars. After work, the interns go on gobbling up political atmosphere in a college version of the Washington cocktail circuit. They turn quaint Georgetown houses into lively dormitories, spend their thin weekly Government salaries (about $50) feeding each other wine-and-spaghetti dinners, and vie to impress each other-and each other's dates-with the latest poop from the office. On hot news, they like to boast, the intern network scoops the wire services by at least three hours. But they choke up dutifully on classified information, which doubly helps to promote what one Yaleman jokingly calls...
