...magic of RoboPuck was all in the atmosphere created by the organizers, Martin and MIT junior Pankaj Oberoi. These guys really tried...

As a near convent in an area of singles bars, the once elegant hotel had sadly declined before its purchase last year by a partnership that includes the Oberoi Hotels of India, Asia's largest hotel chain. While reserving a wing for the 113 women who still live there (some of them for more than 40 years), the new owners have started to remodel the 22-story building as a conventional hotel open to everyone...

In Egypt, the former President stayed at the Aswan Oberoi along with another tourist, the Shah of Iran. Ford, accompanied by his wife Betty, also stopped off in Israel. "I came as a private citizen," he said, and hence felt little compunction about beating a hasty retreat from a dinner with Premier Menachem Begin. After all, Private Citizen Ford had a date to watch the Super Bowl...
