John, a well-to-do barrister who was educated at Oxford, says he sees less rigidity and more economic mobility today — but he also speculates, somewhat clumsily, that people like him may have had it harder than members of the working class because of increased "competition" for elite jobs among the upper class.
It is the reason, her campaign advisers say, that she has the time to dedicate to hourslong selfie lines, to expand the map of states she can visit, and to call up small donors at random to thank them for giving, rather than pleading for more $2,800 donations from the well-to-do.

Imagine you and the people who live on your block, your well-to-do neighbors, pony up a bunch of money and say you want to give a donation to the DC police department, with a string attached that you want them to use this money to hire a new police officer whose beat will be your block.
Written and directed by the Canadian filmmaker Denys Arcand ("The Barbarian Invasions," which won a 2004 Academy Award for best foreign picture), "An Eye for Beauty" is the cinematic equivalent of a photo spread in Vogue or Architectural Digest that taunts you with images of rich, well-to-do beautiful people leading the tastefully glamorous life.
But if she wins, how well will Clinton be able to govern with a base split between the well-to-do, many of whom seek to protect their enclaves against the interests, needs and classically American ambitions of the other half of the party — low-to-moderate income African-Americans and Hispanics and the truly poor?
From Caracas, Venezuela, to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, many cities in the developing world remain in thrall to obsolete, environmentally irresponsible, socially debilitating visions of high-rises and highways, sprawl and segregation, with poor people pushed to the outskirts and more well-to-do residents in gated communities that are yet another unfortunate global export from postwar America.
A tip sheet for customers, entitled "Strategies to Maximize the Chance of Entry," recommended stating on a visa application that pregnant mothers intended to stay at the "5-star" hotel, "Trump International Waikiki Beach," to convince immigration officials that they were well-to-do vacationers, not mothers traveling with the intention of giving birth on American soil, investigators said.
Mr. Trump, the product of a well-to-do, predominantly white Queens enclave who in 1989 paid for a full-page ad in The New York Times calling for the death penalty for five black teenagers convicted but later exonerated of raping a white woman in Central Park, flirted with racial controversy during the 2016 campaign.

It turns out, for example, that the supposedly genial gentleman may have had financial motives (including gambling debts) for his well-to-do wife's death, and that he had attended meetings of the Hemlock Society, a national right-to-die group that often discusses methods of suicide: methods that Weinstein may have found useful in covering his crime.

CAVUTO: Do you fear, though, that some of your colleagues, Republican colleagues, are trying too hard to win potential Democratic votes by doing something like that, by limiting state and local tax deductions or maybe slowly phasing them out for the well-to-do, to get Democratic votes, and it turns out, even after all that, you don&apost get a one?
