Just how much there is to be nostalgic for becomes clear when you step into the 21st-century milieu of the Birkin-toting Manhattan socialites in Wendy Wasserstein's witty Elements of Style.

They're too busy monitoring their weight (morning snack: ''four soybeans for protein and a chocolate chip — for fun!''), redecorating, and ruthlessly poaching each other's rich Upper East Side husbands.
