Those Wexler homes are all kinds of gorgeous. Houses of that style with those floor-to-ceiling windows simply don't exist on the east coast mid-Atlantic, and steel framing is all too rare (as every fire reminds us).

My contemporaries and classmates included King Hussein of Jordan, several Jordanian, Egyptian, Syrian and Saudi boys who were to become ministers, prime ministers and leading businessmen, as well as such glamorous figures as Michel Shalhoub, head prefect of the school and chief tormentor when I was a relatively junior boy, whom everyone has seen on screen as Omar Sharif.

Entertaining memoir of Aubrey Morris here - my favourite bit:
The following day I called and got his answering machine. We played phone tag for a day or so until I finally caught him at home. This first conversation I had with him was slightly uncomfortable because of what he managed to say within the first few seconds of chatting…. “Oh before we go on are you planning to bugger me?..I mean, it’s been so long since I’ve had a really good shag.”
