The careful, aloof, patrician George H.W. Bush was succeeded by the charismatic, brilliant, relatable Bill Clinton; Bill Clinton's successful but seedy presidency gave rise to the disciplined, religious, and decidedly non-bookish George W.

Instead it has become perceived as a hyper-prestigious, creme-de-la-creme entity, a weird mixture of counterculture and patrician, seen as home to the best (and coolest) of the best, whose annual budget has tripled from $25 million in 2009 to $75 million in 2019.
In middle age, Woodhead explained, Arden fell in with a coterie of patrician lesbians who had moved to a stretch of what was then still called Avenue A ("the heart of the slums," as the Times noted reprovingly; "the Amazon Enclave," said wags of the era).

Agatha Christie's stories often hinged on class distinctions and played on English fears of foreigners; Knives Out, set in patrician Massachusetts, takes aim at xenophobia, anti-immigrant sentiment, and the clueless privilege of the very rich in a way that's clearly intended to echo contemporary rhetoric.

Of course, the big return will be that of Ned Stark's bastard, Jon Snow, the boy who died so that the man—Jon Stark—may live... If the early seasons were about the dissemination of Starks, the last two have been about the decline of Westeros's wealthy patrician house.

The novel flits past the canon of "school stories" like Tom Brown's Schooldays, circles the Victorian classics of schooling (Jane Eyre, David Copperfield), and eventually settles on the wistful pastoralism undercut by dread that defines certain novels of patrician childhood: The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, The Go-Between.
Whitney North Seymour Jr., a patrician Republican who battled graft as President Richard M. Nixon's United States attorney in Manhattan in the 19843s, and as a special prosecutor later won a perjury case against a former senior aide to President Ronald Reagan, died on Saturday in Torrington, Conn.

"Jacob Rees-Mogg," months before he became an actionable meme as the patrician parliamentarian who reclined in boredom while Brexit was debated in the House of Commons, required unpacking for me, as did discussions of recent Tory debates and the noncontenders — Rory Stewart included — who had been crushed by Boris Johnson, victoriously yanking the sun down on Britain.
Regardless of the guest, I find that I only have ears for Gwyneth, her crisp (yet somehow so light, as if they are sitting on a cloud!) patrician tones so soothing that I find myself not fast-forwarding through the commercials for things I will never buy, such as pea milk or Mini-Coopers or children's clothing.
If President George Bush revealed his patrician upbringing by requesting "a splash" more coffee at a truck stop in New Hampshire, and John Kerry helped reinforce his image as a New England blue blood by trying to order a cheese steak with Swiss in South Philadelphia, Mr. Trump's diet also telegraphs to his blue-collar base that he is one of them.
Some of the squeamishness she prompted can be attributed to male chauvinism and Tory patrician snobbery; Moore, a right-wing columnist for the Daily Telegraph and a former editor of The Spectator , likes to use this defense when Thatcher is at her most indefensible, soothingly reminding us of her role as the great disrupter of the old boys' club and its afternoon fug.
A natural-born provocateur, Ms. Roitfeld, 64, is perfectly happy to take a swipe at the kind of crusty patrician style resurrected for fall by Hedi Slimane at Celine, and reinterpreted with deadening literalism in the September pages of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, where models are garbed in a profusion of so-called heritage looks: polo coats, glen plaids and pearls.
