...This points to the larger fact that trying to buy service through tipping is an illusion. The nouveaux riches, or Willis Waydes, have always been far less well served than the notoriously careful aristocratic rich, celebrated in O'Hara. The way some people tip at Boston's Ritz-Carlton, it is easy to see that the Brahmins have managed to hold onto their wealth over the years by prudently avoiding the outstretched hand; after all, why should one pay 15% interest on one's dinner when one's investments bring in only...
...every night except Saturday,. when midnight rings down the curtain. Local libertarians are currently engaged in a full-scale attack on the Blue Laws, but in the meantime, just drink fast. The plush scenes are the Merry-Go Round Room in the Sheraton Plaza Hotel, the Ritz Bar in the Ritz Carlton, the Keyboard Lounge in the Somerset Hotel, and the Eliot Lounge in the Eliot Hotel...
Home to Bed. That decision shook New York Republicans, particularly since recent private polls have shown that Javits could handily defeat Democratic Mayor Robert Wagner. At first glance, it would seem that even the Ritz Brothers could beat "Bumbling Bob" Wagner. His administration has been spattered by scandal.

Shut away in the Ritz-Carlton, Lerner fills Apartment 1004 with cigarette smoke and new lines for Camelot. Across the hall in another suite, his two-year-old son Michael listens to a phonograph not Lerner and Loewe, but Au Clair de la Lune. Up in 1204, Loewe ("Sir Aggravate," as Lerner nicknames him) broods under the fond eye of his current, 24-year-old girl friend; he calls her "baby boy," she calls him "baby bear." For hours each day, Lerner joins Loewe at the piano as they work together on four new songs, including one called The Seven...
