[quote=Anonymous]No, I think it's mostly gone. I read a book called The Big House by George Howe Colt, written about 15 years ago, about a summer house his family owned on Cape Cod and it traced the rise and decline of WASP culture. For instance, there was one generation, I think his grandparents, who did not work at all, living entirely on the family's trust fund, depleting the trust for his father. His father was probably WWII generation. The book's story was uncannily close to a friend of mine. No money or influence left in their Boston Brahmin family after 200 years, many similar details. But I suppose the manners, politics and style live on to a certain extent in their families. Book is a good read about the culture, at least the MA version. [/quote]
