Transcript

The hottest ticket in town next month is likely to be one for the shindig Gov. Bruce Babbitt is tossing for Supreme Court Justice Sandra O’Connor Nov. 25 at the Arizona Biltmore. About 2,000 invitations have been sent out for the black-tie gala, but only 850 can be accepted. It is a first-come, first-seated affair, and letters of regret have already been prepared for those not acting fast enough. Organizers of the banquet are privately hoping President Reagan sends regards only and stays m Washington for the holidays. The security arrangements for a presidential visit would toss a monkey wrench in the best-laid plans, which were hush-hush – until now, at least. The dinner will cap a daylong Phoenix and Arizona celebration honoring the first woman to serve on the high court. Plans are in the works for a ceremony in the state Capitol, where Justice O’Connor once served as a state senator, and a combined city of Phoenix and Junior League luncheon at the Lath House, which is next to the Rosson House in Heritage Square.
