What Disparities in Wealth Say About Society
Dear Diane,
As you read this, I'll be in flight to Japan with my two sons and one of my granddaughters—Roger, Nick, and Lilli. As I write this, it's still hard to believe. By next week I'll have spoken three times and visited some schools and just had fun—and will be in Kyoto being a tourist and will soon be coming home. I'm hoping I can send in a letter from Japan.
Meanwhile.
In last Sunday's New York Times there was a story about a 22-year-old Russian girl, who is attending an American university outside of New York City and wanted a pied-a-terre when she visits the city. So her father bought one for her at 60th and Central Park West. For $88 million dollars.
Am I jealous? Not one wit. Would I like to live there? Possibly, although I like where I'm living now in Columbia
