I met Lara three years ago during a seminar we had both gone to represent our companies. We both work in the finance sector as she represented her bank while I represented insurance company I worked for.

At Defcon, the annual hacker conference that met over the weekend in Las Vegas, attendees play a semi-official game called “Spot the Fed.” The object is to identify who among the rabble of computer geeks and hackers is an employee of the federal government.

When it comes to automobiles, my taste has always been embarrassingly mundane. The “car guy” in my household is my Corvette-driving wife Marie. (I’m content as long as a vehicle gets me, my passengers and our belongings from point A to point B with reasonable comfort and safety.)

Real-estate editors, the forgotten men of all newspapers, made the front pages of Manhattan dailies last week with news of the most notable lease of the year. It was taken by John Davison Rockefeller Jr., on an apartment at No. 740 Park Avenue. It meant the removal, next spring, of the Rockefeller home from the eight-story grey mansion on West 54th Street, reputedly the tallest private house in New York City when “Mr.
