Wolfe's main conceit is that the upper classes are especially vulnerable to prejudicial treatment if they lose their insulation. Sherman McCoy of Park Avenue and Southampton, the leading bond salesman at Pierce & Pierce, learns this harsh lesson when he is arrested for hit-and-run driving and plummets from a "Master of the Universe" to "the Great White Defendant," the dream of every ambitious $36,000-a-year assistant district attorney...

Antitrust. Bork has had formidable influence in the field of antitrust, his legal specialty.

Deferential to legislatures in most constitutional disputes, Bork becomes positively Swiftian in his gloom about their capabilities in the economic field: "Congress as a whole is institutionally incapable...
...Sherman Suchow has undergone quite a transformation. Born in Brooklyn 59 years ago, he now calls himself Charles Merrill Mount, affects an English accent, carries a walking stick and sports classic three-piece suits. An art historian and portrait painter, Mount stands accused of pursuing a third career as well: pilferer of rare historical documents. Last week the FBI arrested him for possessing a 1904 letter signed by Novelist Henry James that had been missing from the Library of Congress. Five days earlier Mount had been charged with stealing letters written by Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill. Said Special...
...least in America. Apart from political enlightenment, one of the things that killed it was the growth of the art market. Now that any list of collectors' favorites in current art would have to include Nancy Graves, Agnes Martin, Louise Bourgeois, Susan Rothenberg, Elizabeth Murray, Jennifer Bartlett, Cindy Sherman and Joan Snyder, it is fatuous to talk as though women in 1987 formed an oppressed aesthetic class. About half the substructure of power in the art world, from museum curators and dealers to critics and corporate art advisers, is female. No talented woman has real difficulty getting her work into...
