...miscellany of bits and pieces like Manhattan's Plaza Hotel ($400 million), "one of the great diamonds of the world." And the 76-acre plot along the Hudson that may or may not become Trump City. And Mar-a-Lago, the $7 million, 118-room Palm Beach, Fla., hideaway originally built by Marjorie Merriweather Post, with its elaborate Moorish arches, its private golf course and its 400 ft. of beach. (Mrs. Post originally bequeathed the place to the U.S. Government for visiting chiefs of state, but it was rejected as too expensive.) And the 47-room weekend cottage in Greenwich...
...admission, an introspective man. Contemplating the meaning of life is not his thing." What does Trump like to talk about? "His deals," says McDowell. "He's the quintessential salesman." Ever eager to show off what he owns, Trump escorted McDowell through his 118-room hideaway in Palm Beach, happily pointing out some of the valuables that he acquired when he purchased the 17.5-acre estate, furnishings and all, for a "bargain" $7 million in 1985. "Do you believe this?" he asked, brandishing a gold dinner plate. "I make great deals." Cross him, however, and the frisky golden retriever can begin...
...home state by Jimmy Carter -- Lloyd Bentsen had still not passed the asterisk level in national name recognition. Twelve years later, at 67, the senior Senator from Texas remains largely unknown outside his home state and Washington. His career has played out in the boardrooms of Houston and the hideaway offices of the Capitol. The backslapping style of a Lyndon Johnson or a John Connally, two of his early supporters, is totally foreign to this patrician son of a wealthy landowner in the Rio Grande Valley. With his well-cut suits, nails that look manicured even when they...
...create from the way a woman's hair falls across her face. Julien Temple's witty episode -- quick gags and endless tracking shots -- plops Rigoletto into California's baroque Madonna Inn. A movie producer philanders in a room decorated in Late Neanderthal, while his wife dallies in Heidi's Hideaway, and an Elvis impersonator lip-syncs La donna e mobile. In another Western hotel, Tristan and Isolde execute a quickie marriage and a slow double suicide. Director Franc Roddam knows that Las Vegas and Liebestod were made for each other...
Intelligent people can only be jealous of our plush and elegant lifestyle. They must live in the hustle and bustle of Cambridge, while we Quadlings can escape Harvard proper and take shelter in our pleasure resort hideaway. The studious Riverlings must run around from library to library, while we can find all of our reserve readings in Hilles (which has its own grille along with free juice, candy, and xerox machines). And River residents must trek to Hemenway Gym to play squash, while we can just cross the street to the QRAC. No wonder they're envious...
