Balthazar's good works have not gone unnoticed. A few months ago, his alma mater, Loyola University School of Medicine, gave him its esteemed Stritch Medal (previous winners include Heart Transplanter Christiaan Barnard and Astronaut-Physician Joseph Kerwin).

When it comes to Elaine Stritch and a wickedly caustic song called The Ladies Who Lunch, you just know that she has swallowed the cocktail glasses along with the martinis. They are all marvelous, and the pleasure of their Company awaits hundreds of thousands of people...
