...SHOULD HAVE BEEN there a few weeks ago when Steve Forbes held one of his campaign bashes at New York City's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Joan Rivers emceed. The $1,000-a-plate tables were flush with interested parties like Alan ("Ace") Greenberg, head of the prominent investment firm Bear Stearns, and Leonard Lauder of the Estee Lauder cosmetics family. More than 1,400 people attended, which meant about $1.2 million for the campaign treasury. It was a big night for Forbes, his most successful fund raiser...

America's Favorite Grandmother, the author of the best-selling Barbara Bush: A Memoir, is sitting on the plumped-up cushions of a luxurious suite in Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria Towers and revealing another side. It's not one that rhymes with rich, as she so famously characterized Geraldine Ferraro, her husband's 1984 vice-presidential rival, but not one that's soft and cuddly either. Pose a question about the Clintons, and she will snap,"Oh, them. This is supposed to be about my book." Point out that her pro-choice stance is totally at odds with her husband...
