...cash to spare, you might try Ben Elliot, co-founder of Quintessentially, a London-based concierge business dedicated to satisfying even the most fanciful whim of its well-heeled clientele. Quintessentially, Elliot boasts, can get almost anything, anywhere. The company was once asked, for instance, to procure a dozen albino peacocks for Jennifer Lopez's birthday.

...Metcalf Dinner at the Civic Center in Butte (where the last major event was December's spectacular funeral ceremony for native son Evel Knievel). Obama has been running prime-time TV ads in Montana markets for the past month, the latest using footage of his Montana appearances. Clinton's cash-strained campaign, meanwhile, waited until just a few days before the vote to place her spots. But she has also been represented in the state by surrogates like husband Bill Clinton, who hadn't been back since 1995, as well as daughter Chelsea...
