...Saudi officials attended college on the U.S. West Coast that they are often referred to by Americans as "the California Mafia." At a desert feast during Blumenthal's visit last year, one sheikh wearing flowing robes and looking as if he had just returned from a raid on camelback leaned over to a member of the Secretary's party and whispered: "How did U.S.C. make out last night in the football game...
There were no parades on camelback and no banners across the winding Amman streets. The wedding of Jordan's King Hussein and Nur el Hussein (Light of Hussein), nee Elizabeth Halaby in Washington, was a quiet family affair. In a four-minute Muslim ceremony at the palace of Hussein's mother, the blue-suited groom, 42, and his Dior-and-diamond-bedecked bride, 26, exchanged vows in Arabic. Those present, all male according to Islamic practice, included Lisa's father, former Pan Am Chief Najeeb Halaby...
...past year or so, the Camelback Inn in Scottsdale, Ariz., owned by Marriott Corp., has presented such menu items as New York-cut sirloin steak in three sizes (10 oz. for $9.75, 8 oz. for $8.25, 6 oz. for $6.75) and baked stuffed shrimp in two portions-six for $7.75, four for $5.50.

Since then she has traveled round the country evangelizing smaller portions. She argues that they will help consumers slim their waistlines and cut food bills, bolster restaurant profits by selling additional dinners, and that "the tiniest bit of wasted food cannot be justified when an estimated 1½ billion people...
Alice has recently taken possession of a four-bedroom desert sprawl of a house in the Paradise Valley section of Phoenix, just beneath the Camelback Mountain residence of Senator Barry Goldwater. The Senator is safe. Alice has no immediate plans to return to the West. Home at the moment is a Manhattan penthouse that is, by his own description, "elegantly decadent." Until recently he lived in a 40-room mansion in Greenwich, Conn., complete with a male effigy hanging by the neck in the living room, wall-to-wall mirrors in the bathrooms, swastikas posted on the bedroom walls...
