...full plate before her, he marched to her table, snatched the plate from her, yapped: "You're too fat already. I'll eat this." He danced just once-until his partner's husband took the lady away.

The Sands Point Bath Club is not noted for decorum on Saturday nights but Senator Long's behavior was far over its mark...

...Ever a shrewd business man, Wagner demanded $5.000 for his March and when it was finished he sent it, not to Conductor Theodore Thomas who had commissioned it for the Philadelphia celebration, but to a German bank, there to be held until the $5,000 was deposited. The few tender passages Wagner interpreted as being "the beautiful and accomplished women of America joining in the festival procession." The flyleaf of the score bears the note "Dedicated to the Women's Centennial Committee by Richard Wagner...
