The wealthy in America are more and more resembling the characters in the Edgar Allen Poe story "The Masque of the Red Death. " That's the gruesome tale where a prince, his land beset by the most horrible of plagues, gathers his friends, his servants and as many entertainers, chefs and sycophants as will fit into his castle, locks the gates, and proceeds, in Poe's words, to "out-Herod Herod. " Of course, the gesture is futile. The Red Death personified, immune to the locked doors, walks into the party, frightens everyone, and infects the multitude with the deadly plague.

He tenanted, and whence, for many years, he had never ____________________.” Roderick says that the house itself has “brought upon the __________________ of his existence.”
