Getting away from it all in the lives of the rich
An essay on gossip journalism and celebrity private miseries. The text discusses the Burtons, Princess Margaret, Lord Snowdon, Jacqueline Onassis, Judith Campbell Exner, and the Mellons, noting how travel appears linked to happiness or crisis for the wealthy. It questions whether the rich live in a constant state of travel and contrasts their responses to personal troubles with those of ordinary people. The piece ends with a quip about Hemingway and Fitzgerald on money and escape.
