As the seasons change and Spring is on the cold horizon of the Hamptons many will think of George Plimpton. We remember him from his many trips to the Metropolis in the Cornfields, especially the polo weekends when Michael Butler was king of the blue and white striped tents and the Friends of Conservation trotted out all those wonderful wild animals. There were also the book promotions, the Harvard Club parties...and so on.
