...Rothschild (of the bank) in Great Britain and Lanvin (of the perfume) in France and Agnelli (of the automobiles) in Italy, all of varying language and dress and humor, but comrades-in-arms in their exotic adventure of jets and ships and marketplaces. It is an astonishing experience to dine with this fraternity and learn that a British banker has spent the week in Charlotte, N.C., where he guides a financial institution; a German economic expert has seen more Dallas Cowboys games than most Texans; an Italian industrialist has supped with Henry Kissinger in New York a few nights...

You may as well trek up Garden St. to absorb the atmosphere, lie on the grass, maybe meet a few new people. Avoid the food, though...
...nine months of the year, they make their home in hotels, Mariana, who severely curtailed her competitive career after a frantic year of tournaments in separate cities, washes their tennis whites in the tub. If the couple goes out to dine, they will be swamped by autograph seekers (and often not presented with a check), so they tend to subsist on room service. Says Mariana: "We get up and order breakfast from room service. Then we practice, come back to the hotel and order room service. Then Bjorn practices again, if he's not playing a match, and then...
