It is amazing how the Gettysburg Battlefield has gone from not even being on the trust's list of 25 most endangered battlefields to the top of the list overnight, even though our resort has been a subject of debate and discussion for nearly a year.

No part of this property is hallowed ground. We will not capitalize on the battlefields or any other historic sites.

We have not yet received any list from India and our list has not gone to India.

[An amazing host and a great guest list is one thing, but when the champagne is gone and everyone goes home, what is it that separates a good party from a great one?] The way I look at a successful event is positive press, ... As a publicist, I judge a party not on my fun, but on getting positive press from publications, and the celebrity turnout. I can't remember the last time I had fun at one of my events. If I have a good time, it's not a good sign.

Clearly, the trust is lining its coffers.

We left the meeting with a list of open issues, not a handshake.
