I missed references in the article to Kelsey Grammer, the actor who portrayed Fraser Crane in the sitcom Fraser. That was how I became acquainted with the Mid-Atlantic accent, by researching Grammer's (or Fraser's to be more precise) distinctively snobby accent.
Fraser's lines and Grammer's interpretation probably deserve a place in the canons of American English accents and linguistics.
