BON ANNIVERSAIRE: Booz Allen Hamilton’s 100th birthday celebration was unusually far-seeing: sponsorship of the National Gallery of Art’s latest Impressionist show, the first to focus on the relationship between Edgar Degas and Mary Cassa — a Franco-American alliance if ever there was one. The two were peers who learned from each other and were even collaborators of shorts (as shown in one work on gallery walls). The black-tie preview dinner featured individual chocolate cakes (a ‘palet au chocolat’) and plenty of frothy Champagne for guests who included company CEO Ralph Shrader, French Amb. François Dela re, National Portrait Gallery Director Kim Sajet and artist Lou Stovall. — Ann Geracimos
