...Writers Guild of America against movie and television producers and the three major networks, both sides assumed the bemused air of adversaries in a genteel farce. Executives at Disney studios provided storage for picket signs in their conference room. Some writers reported to the picket line outfitted by Gucci and Cardin. One rain-shy striker arrived outside 20th Century-Fox and defiantly lofted his picket sign through the slightly open window of his Rolls-Royce...
...women of Palm Beach generally fall into two categories, and their men follow close behind (in Gucci loafers). Some are big on the social scene, like Mary Sanford, who claims to have been one of the first to make money for charity at parties that everyone was going to anyway. "Women like to put on their ball gowns. They can't wear them to a little private party, can they?" Others profess to avoid it as much as they can. Mrs. Algur Meadows (General American Oil) much prefers to play golf, especially on Ladies' Day at the Everglades...

"At first," says one partner, "I thought he was a lot of smooth oil. Now I'm very high...
Democrat from a very conservative, very Republican state. He is the plain-spoken son of a country preacher who now sports $15 Gucci ties and owns an elegant Japanese-style house in a quiet corner of northwest Washington, D.C. He is a middle-aged prairie populist whose strongest national appeal has been to the young and to the affluent and well-educated citizens of suburbia. He is an outwardly diffident, gentle man-Robert Kennedy once called him the only decent man in the U.S. Senate -whose professorial facade conceals a core of toughness and ambition. He likes movies and chocolate...
