  Most extravagant.

  Which leads me on a tangent. Many do not seem to like the Met building, but it seems many more love the Austrian chandeliers there. These were replaced not too long ago, and the Met Store sells little Sputniks from them on two sizes and asks $2,500 for the large ones and about half that for the samller ones. Could there be an extravagant Met fan somewhere who uses a bunch of them to decorate a Christmas tree? I was wondering that as I examined what I thought an exotic CD of Caballe singing the Immolation Scene.
