From Dreiser and Fitzgerald to Marquand and O'Hara, grill rooms and locker rooms appear as citadels of America's aristocracy of inherited wealth. They were the places you couldn't get in, not because you didn't have the money...but merely because you had the wrong DNA. Country clubs aroused the most painful sort of envy." (WORTH) This article explores the exclusivity of country clubs as a microcosm of the effects of wealth.
