...long tables while they listened to a stand-up comic; near by, a self-service restaurant was turning out $2.25 dinners of shrimp, steak and pie. Members who were not exhausted from a day at the beach or sports could swim in the 50-meter pool, enjoy a sauna, or play pool, darts or table tennis. The architecture is brash, the décor early TWA, the tone matey and the turnover tremendous. The income from the slot machines pays the mortgages and keeps the costs down...

By bad I mean bad -tuneless, humorless, structureless. (On this last point, I could explain how the show actually collapsed into its conclusion a half-hour before the final curtain fell, but I'll save that one for my friends who had the sense to leave...
...pretty wife Simone whip up a delicious meal. The Jurgens farmhouse is one enormous room, designed for sybaritic simplicity against what Jurgens calls "the inevitable day when there'll be no domestic servants-even for the very rich." Outside, for a change of pace, is an electric sauna for four and a heatable swimming pool...
