The James Beard Awards

The red carpet was unfurled along the travertine plateau of Lincoln Center last night. The bright lights of the big city and the brighter lights of the camera crews forced an unnatural daylight, and the tuxedoed men and begowned women under their incandescence seemed to glow.
