We were in two sub-groups of Brighton, and they were small, 10 to 15 people - possibly so they would fly under regulator radar, victims now tell me. Brighton, it turns out, fed the money into Madoff. I'd sit next to Stanley at year-end holiday parties and, knowing my family's money was in his hands, I'd ask: "How're things going with the arbitrage?" The answer was always, "Life is good."

To sit there with a group of friends and an amazing meal is something I really enjoy. Or you could go to Quince, tel: (1-415) 775 8500, run by the fabulous chef Michael Tusk. It's located on Octavia Street and Mike has incredibly light hands. I always order the pasta. It's Californian cuisine with touches...
