...snoots the common man. "Can it seriously be argued," he asked, after observing the deportment of a hockey crowd, "that these ignorant, ill-clad, ill-spoken hooligans-common men all-are the equals of the civilized products of Groton?" All this, Frazier hopes, qualifies him as something of a snob. It is a badge he wears proudly, like the Legion of Honor...
Besides, the food was passing fair. The prince's snob appeal was pure, being unfettered by real connections. And Romanoff's became one of the best-known restaurants anywhere. The shadow prince became just another honest Boniface. A businessman. A tradesman. A merchant. A non-fraud! Even the glitter of the real tinsel had worn...
...Moskowitz (2,000 pp.; Shorewood; $160). The title is accurate, the selection intelligent, the reproduction good. There are 1,107 color plates. A brief introduction precedes each sheaf of drawings, which are grouped by nations. On price and weight (38 Ibs.), this set is the year's best snob value, but this need not deter nonsnobs; its artistic value is also high (see cut). The four volumes have the scope of a museum-though no museum exists in which so many master drawings can be seen on public display...

Imported whiskies, which now command $11 a fifth in Japan, may then sell for as little as $6 -which, given the snob appeal that foreign products enjoy in Japan, will make them closely competitive with Suntory. Preparing for that day, President Saji has launched a major advertising campaign, sponsoring such made-in-Hollywood TV shows as 77 Sunset Strip. The campaign sells prestige and national pride...
...folder" and "... he (the tutor) certainly wishes it could be made public." Great. That's justice all right. "Ted was one of the boys," we are told. Presumably of the wrong kind of boys, however. A clubbie, a spender of his father's money--if not a non-snob, I suppose, then by implication a snob. Horrible. An exhaustive survey, it seems, reports that no members of the Gov. Department remember him. Well, how many faculty members remember Lodge (in terms of academic achievement)? Anyway, who cares whether or not an undergraduate is "remembered?" How much does the faculty care...
