Oct. 26, 1976: “In Tux and Gowns, Some Outdoor Types Climb the Walls,” was the headline for an article that accompanied this photo of a benefit dinner for Outward Bound at the Plaza Hotel. “The loudest cheers came from the women, since the crowd of 500 included several corporate wives who have been off climbing mountains without their mates,” the reporter wrote. The evening’s only mishap? Somebody tripped on a loose carpet. Photo: Chester Higgins Jr./The New York Times
