...Lady has always been a good sport about the rustic pleasures of Rancho del Cielo, but she has been unable to conceal her preference for palling about with old chums like Socialite Betsy Bloomingdale in more citified surroundings. Last week Nancy got a chance to sample the glitzy social whirl of Beverly Hills when the Reagans came down off the mountain for a three-day sojourn in lotus land.

For many Cabinet officers, congressional leaders and other key political players, the social whirl is "really an elongation of the working day," observes Superlobbyist Robert Gray, who makes it his (very profitable) business to know what lubricates the workings of Washington. Parties in the capital are a lot more, and often a lot less, than just fun: they are part of the power scene, and never...
