I don’t know much about the Luces. Could you give a quick synopsis of their lives? I Googled a bit and found this quote from Dorothy Parker about Claire Booth Luce:
“And where does she find them?” (Dorthy Parker, when told that Claire Booth Luce was invariably kind to her inferiors)
One of Dorothy (I must get out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini) Parker's better comments. Notwithstanding, of course, that Parker was AT LEAST as anti-American as the rest of them.
