Entry: Swilling from the America's Cup Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/swilling_from_the_americas_cup#854 Post contents: The nouveau riche have never been more vulgar than at present. Nineteenth-century plutocrats were positively decorous by comparison. Even the rawest of them had the sense at least to try to improve their manners, as witnessed by the popularity of books on etiquette a century and more ago. Today's ethos seems to be, better a slob than a snob. Hence Messrs Ellison, Geffen, et aliis. Sent at: 2008 07 06
