Our Crystal Charity Coverage Via Social Media
The correspondent and photographer I had dispatched to the Hilton Anatole last night for the Crystal Charity Ball both felt they couldn’t get there safely through all the ice. So I told them to stay home and warm; getting out on the roads wasn’t worth the risk. But there’s more than one way to dress a socialite. Plenty of other people attended, and they did so in a public way.
Channel 8 anchor Ron Corning gave us a taste of the “Magnificent Manhattan” decor:
