  The Money Culture, cont'd.
Two more symptoms of the money culture....

Last night, a businessman came into the quiet restaurant where I was eating dinner with a friend, sat down at the table next to ours, and began loudly talking on his Blackberry...with a headset. He could be heard throughout the entire dining room talking about a stock he was advising someone to short....

A friend who sends her children to a prestigious Upper East Side school told me that her 10th grade daughter's class recently went on a field trip for a day of group discussions.

The subject?

Rehab.....
 
Comments:
I think the phenomenon you're describing is simply called Manhattan.
 
Both, perhaps.....
 
Well, was it a good stock tip?
