Dispatch: Reversal of Fortune
<H3>In Palm Beach, Boston's Jewish elite created a glittering world that unwittingly helped make Bernie Madoff possible. Laurence Leamer reports from behind the winter retreat's manicured hedges on what it looks like now that the party is over.</H3>
By Laurence Leamer
Turning their Rolls-Royces and Bentleys over to the valets, the splendidly attired couples slipped behind high hedges and glided their way into the private precincts of Palm Beach's Club Colette. The 144 people who'd turned out for the evening's proceedings, a charity-dinner dance to benefit Brigham and Women's Hospital, included a veritable social register of Boston's Jewish elite. Every night during the Palm Beach season there is one extravagant party after another, but even by those standards, this one would prove impressive. Daniel Ponton, Club Colette's owner, wouldn't have had it any other way.
