Hardly the place, one might think, to shell out $350 for a 2-oz. shot of Cuervo Original 1800 Coleccion tequila or savor, as Michael Javaherian did the other night, two small pitchers of margaritas at $115 each. "I'll look at the bill later," he said, as his two colleagues, geologists at an engineering company, raved about the "buttery taste" and "subtlety" of the oak barrel-aged liquor, enlivened only with fresh lime juice and a dash of Triple Sec.

...choreographically challenged, learning to dance in public around real people at real parties may inspire fear-induced elbow-jerking or the yearning to shell out $19.99 for “Darrin’s Dance Grooves.” Darrin Henson, a self-proclaimed “dynamic dancer,” peddles his video on late-night infomercials, promising to teach all the hottest dance moves step by step.

That the elite can profit while the rest of us must scurry for protection, with no help from our government, is outrageous. The idea that we have chosen to deregulate business through our own elections is nonsense! What has happened is that corporate money has influenced our politicians more than the votes of ordinary people. Until strong campaign-finance reform is enacted, the perfidy of "the best government money can buy" will continue. PHILIP A. STAHL Colorado...
