Two generations of well-to-do suburbanites. Here the leaders of business and finance have built their spacious homes, only a spoon shot away from the Valley Hunt and Field Club where the ever-young matrons gather during the week for tennis and cocktails and their commuting husbands descend in foursomes on the weekend. And here, amid the glittering prosperity of country-club living, rising young men wage their fierce but careful campaigns for promotion to positions of power.
