Reporters picked up a trail when they heard that Hughes was spirited off by private train to Las Vegas and carried on a stretcher at 4 a.m. to a penthouse bastion at the Desert Inn.

...favorite is poached eggs de Severski-on toast, with caviar and hollandaise sauce. In Sausalito's Alta Mira, it is eggs princess: poached eggs on a bed of creamed chicken and asparagus spears with hollandaise. Beyond eggs, there are endless local specialties. Los Angeles' Santa Ynez Inn serves mahimahi, baked fillets of dolphin topped, Polynesian-style, with shredded coconut and sliced pineapple...
