Betrayal in air at Palm Beach club

To get accepted as a member at the Palm Beach Country Club - founded by Jews during the 1950s when the other clubs in this exclusive resort town were restricted - you have to be more than rich. You have to be a real mensch, a person of character.

And the way to prove that is to show that you contribute a fortune every year to charity.

Bernard Madoff passed that test long ago, something his fellow members have suddenly come to regret.
