...just as much at home on the sooty sidewalks of New York as on the red clay of Plains. They attended plays and parties, shopped at Bonwit's and Bergdorf's, held a family dinner at Mamma Leone's, munched pastrami and corned beef at a delicatessen, rode the Staten Island ferry and the Circle Line around Manhattan and artfully revealed and concealed themselves as the press and crowds of curious, friendly people dogged their every step.

The evening's finest gig is a wild flamenco in honor of the native delicatessen: "Out-of-town baloneys/ Are made of horse and ponies." Beware of Boston, too, where "You don't order tonic/ Unless you want a high colonic." Grace under pressure is sometimes no more than a good laugh...
