CHINA Coast Ball organiser Ted Marr does have a way with words. In a detailed brief he has sent to participants for this year's bout of bacchanalia (in Russia of all places), insatiable party-goer Ted describes one of the hotels his guests will stay in as: ''A standard communist-style hotel but housed in one of those wonderful Stalin-gothic wedding cake skyscrapers which dot the city. It affords the CNN view of the 'White House', the Russian Parliament building where Boris Yeltsin was holed up during the 1991 coup attempt.'' Sounds more like: ''Nice view, sorry about the room.''
