Last year, the residents of the Pforzheimer Bell Tower suite reserved Thursday nights for the boys. Twenty guys converged in the room each week. They puffed on cigarettes and cigars, forming a smoky haze that mingled with the jazz music playing in the background. Over 30 forms of liquor lined the bar, and beer flowed from a tap. But the main attraction was always the card table in the middle of the room...

No one pays $2,500 to see Kenny Rogers jam with Yoko Ono and Petula Clark. But with Michael Jackson, you have to take the bad with the good...
