...sense of monochromatic excess because all the shows are alike, from the fake panic that the party may not happen to the scary-sexy dry humping on the dance floor. And no matter what the nominal theme of the party--California beach party, Moulin Rouge, the color pink--each guest of honor is really after only one thing. "I feel famous. I love it," says one.

...Staff has served. The meal for the two-hour flight from Des Moines was chicken Marsala and tomato cucumber salad. The Air Force One crew presented Card with a jacket and a window from the plane inscribed with his name as an expression of gratitude. Card, a frequent guest at Camp David and a member of the "Hundred Degree Club" of hot-weather runners at Bush's ranch, talked about what a privilege it was to work in the White House.
