The Bohemian Grove is an invitation-only summer camp on 2500 secluded
acres 65 miles north of San Francisco, reserved for the richest and most
powerful men in America. In 1986 a state appeals court ruled that it
cannot refuse to hire women employees. The Grove is owned by the Bohemian
Club in San Francisco, virtually all of whose members (Reagan, Bush, Ford,
etc.) can be found in Who's Who. Through elaborate stage productions and
other entertainment, campers are able to bond with fellow elites. Two
other ruling-class watering holes, the Rancheros and the Roundup Riders,
are more regional than national in scope but serve the same purpose.
