Thanks, Elizabeth, for reminding us that "Spy" was a much loved and much missed periodical under the direction of (Canadian)  Grayden  Carter, now the editor of "Vanity Fair".  One of the best features of "Spy"was the monthly "Party Poop" section in which the New York socialites were depicted out on the town, accompanied  by the sardonic captions.  The "short fingered vulgarian" made many an appearance, needless to say.  One of my other favorite descriptions of the New York scene makers was "socialite/war criminal" Henry Kissinger, well known as a shameless sycophant of fellow criminal Richard Nixon and The Donald himself.
