Madness Under the Royal Palms

"Madness Under the Royal Palms" by Laurence Leamer looked at the noxious underbelly of the Palm Beach scene, where no one can ever be too rich, young, or thin. It was basically three hundred pages of dishy gossip by a wanna be insider who, while condemning the hypocrisy of the system, can't help but project the image of wanting to be part of it. You can tell that as much as he's repulsed by it, he is equally fascinated, and he made me interested in it as well. Not quite as good as "The Big Rich", but then the Texas big rich don't take themselves as seriously as their Florida counterparts.
