...Lodge--Designed by Stanford White, famous architect of the Gilded Age, this is the only B&B in the mansion district. Though decidedly smaller than the mansions, this charming masterpiece matches their elegance with its gables and Gothic turret...
...last week, in that spacious rancho Santa Fe mansion, with the bougainvillaea in full bloom outside, 39 bodies were laid out on their backs on bunk beds, looking like so many laboratory specimens pinned neatly to a board. Each was dressed in black pants, flowing black shirt, spanking-new black Nikes. Those who wore glasses had them neatly folded next to their body. It was a remarkably well-choreographed departure.

...gaudy mansion of Clinton's mind there are many rooms with heavy doors, workrooms and playrooms, rooms stuffed with trophies, rooms to stash scandals and regrets.

The apparently vindicated Gennifer Flowers spoke last week of an incident in their affair in which Clinton wanted her to do it with him in the bathroom of the Governor's mansion while a party was in full swing and Mrs. Clinton was nearby. If he were merely going for a quickie, it would have been monumentally stupid to imperil an entire political future. If, however, he felt that he was playing a high-risk romantic game, he gladly would have become...
