I'm sorry that I, who cannot find my way around the Time & Life Building, have nothing to offer my teammates, Alison Murray, senior staff at Schwab's information technology enterprise, and Elisa Takao, senior event manager.

Stone townhouses whose pastel hues and intricate wrought-iron balconies testify to the wealth of those who built them. Side-walks peopled with men, women and children with backs straight and chins high like proud poodles--step lightly and with a certain disdain over cobblestones weathered by the centuries.
