“There Had Been A Time When This Was Not Unusual. A Time When The Wealthy Were Exemplars. When You Held Yourself To A Higher Standard, When You Lived As An Example To Others. When You Did Not Parade Your Inheritance In Front Of A Camera; When You Did Not Accept The Spotlight Unless You'd Done Something. But That Obligation Had Been Lost. The Rich Were As Anxious For Attention As Any Scullery Maid.”
