Sheraton took to her Friday column last week and described the encounter in her usual remorseless detail, ending with some speculation on the rights of an orderly person who is ejected from a public restaurant. The rest of the column was devoted to a classic example of what O'Keeffe so greatly fears: a 750-word, clinical rundown on a Chinese restaurant, including the likeliest days...
