...tourists strolling among the Christmas trees on Washington's Ellipse near the White House seemed to recognize the elusive Tricia Nixon (dubbed "the Howard Hughes of the White House" by the mystified press) and her longtime beau, Edward Finch Cox. At least one who did spy Tricia, though, saw more than blonde hair and dimples: Tricia was wearing a diamond on the ring finger of her left hand. Would she announce her engagement to the son of New York Socialites Mr. and Mrs. Howard E. Cox over the holidays? Her mother Pat Nixon would only...

...done little more than shoot fish in a brandy snifter. Happily, the gathering−and with it Tom Wolfe's look-homeward-recording-angel prose−Soon begins to reflect depths of confusion and true social comedy. There is a remarkable moment when Panther Defense Minister Don Cox talks of police harassment, evoking the Reichstag fire (blacks now, Jews next is the thought), then reads the Declaration of Independence to justify talk about Revolution Now.

Equally important, the party also featured assorted hors d'oeuvres, white servants (Latin American), and a confrontation between Lenny, Otto Preminger, Barbara Walters, and Don Cox. Charlotte Curtis was also there and later wrote about it all for the society page...

...Panthers encounter can only be heard as a distant echo within the Bernstein duplex. There is something funny in the Bernsteins' noblesse oblige. But to treat the Panthers' predicament as equally amusing- "Lenny reaches up from out of the depths of the easy chair and hands him [Don Cox] a mint . . . a puffed mint, an after-dinner mint, of the sort that suddenly appears on the table in little silver Marthinsen bowls, as if deposited by the mint fairy"- is to regard what is at best tragically macabre as a comic trifle...
