The Schlumbergers began getting ready for their bash four years ago, when they bought the 20-room 16th century Quinta do Vinagre (Vinegar Villa) at Colares, a coastal resort an hour's drive west of Lisbon. For months, architects and decorators have been transforming the grounds into an illuminated Eden, complete with a chandeliered pavilion for dancing. Rumor had it that it was all costing $3,500,000.

Kentucky's Senator Thruston Morton, an early Rockefeller...
...clearinghouses, truck it to delivery routes. Then white-uniformed, bonded carriers trudge to each house, put the mail in plastic bags, which are hung on doorknobs (nobody but a U.S. postman is allowed to place anything in mailboxes). Supervisors conduct frequent checks to make sure that carriers do not resort to dumping circulars in convenient garbage cans -a constant temptation for carriers who get paid on the basis of how much they deliver...
