The Paris Review Foundation held a party at Cipriani's last night and they trotted out the old warhorses Vonnegut, Styron, Guare (who?) grinning like........oh never mind.......at least Updike doesn't hungrily lap up the attention of Ivanka Trump. I spent some time with George P. whenever he came to Chicago and he was an Upper East Side snob, only he wasn't aware of it. New York is the city of Names.

Saw a frowning Bianca Jagger trudging up Madison last night and a frowning, tired Sirio Maccioni at Le Cirque. I am sure his face lights up like a Christmas tree for Nan Kempner or ......whomever.
