...appurtenances of wealth are well known--the Range Rovers and Rolexes, the little Chanel purses and the personal chefs trained in the Pritikin diet. But in the horse country around Warrenton, Va., a lustrous green pocket one hour from Washington where the Mellons and Kennedys have homes, the wealthy have a little-known luxury. It's the imported Argentine polo player, a man who can do a lot for your game--and if you happen to be one of the available local horsewomen, escort you home afterward...
Those sorts of literal endorsements tend to make us cringe nowadays, whether at the primitivism, or the low state to which some public person has been reduced (George McGovern for Pritikin Longevity Centers), or the intimacy of real-life typecasting (manic-depressive Patty Duke touting a chain of for- profit psychiatric hospitals).

Pritikin became a self-taught nutritionist after he was diagnosed as having heart disease at age 40. He promoted his diet plan, consisting mostly of fruits, vegetables and whole-grain breads, in $3,675 two-week programs at his longevity centers and through several books...
Because two goats live in the lot; because it is San Franscisco. "There are so many community watchdogs," says Robert Pritikin, an advertising executive and inn owner, "so many officious little rich ladies, so many intensely worried lawyers, that if some city official dares steal a postage stamp, it will be on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle. " It is also true that beneath its mellow exterior, San Francisco has an edgy streak, an undercurrent of jitters. Perhaps it is because of the minor temblors that occasionally rattle the city, raising fears of a 1906 redux. Perhaps...
