...divorce trial of Herbert and Roxanne Pulitzer served up a succession of toothsome headlines about naughty doings among the Palm Beach rich : group sex, lesbian encounters and suggestions of unspeakable things performed with a bedside trumpet. All this was allegedly borne upon a flood tide of cocaine, Dom Perignon and money. The whole sordid story appears anew in Roxanne's latest attempt to cash in on her notoriety (previous ventures included posing nude, for $70,000, for Playboy). Readers in search of easy, sleazy entertainment, however, are in for a surprise. The narrative is shot through with the pain...
...wells operate within sight of the runways at Calgary International Airport. At Coconut Joe's, the joint with the concrete palm trees out front, a favorite drink is root-beer schnapps. And in what passes for subtlety, the two Olympic mascots, male and female bears, are named Howdy and Hidy. Get it? First settled in 1875 by a band of men on horseback representing the North- West Mounted Police, Calgary today looks nearly brand new. Credit that to oil, which lies beneath the surrounding prairie in vast pools and has made a passel of folks as rich as the Ewings...
...Maher and Bott will be hard-pressed to match their predecessors' style or accomplishments. In boardrooms from Pittsburgh to Palm Beach, the two men seemed an unlikely pair.

In one case, the team was all too effective in helping Texaco beat rival Pennzoil in a battle to acquire Getty...

South Florida--the strip between Miami and West Palm Beach--is very strange. There are lots of old people there. Many are paranoid, big-mouthed, incredibly pushy New York Jews. Even worse, their bodily fluids have been dried up from spending too much time lying under the tropical sun and complaining about the havoc other people's grandchildren are wreaking on the shuffleboard equipment, baking their brains into blackened rocks. You get the Picture...
