...included two millionaires, and Demarest grew up in England, attending private schools with "the peerage and the beerage." Demarest notes a difference between European and American rich: "Many Americans don't know how to spend their money. Perhaps it is in part a result of the Puritan work ethic...

Penetrating sociological insight may not be Corry's forte--anyone looking for a portrayal of the rise and fall of the Irish-American ethic would be better off reading Edwin O'Connor's brilliant The Last Hurrah.
