Price of Peace. Still, Saroyan is laboring mightily to give the beholder a break. Nights and weekends he holes up in his $25-a-day Savoy Hotel room, bats out ten pages of dialogue every night. In the theater, his lugubrious, fiercely mustachioed face looms over a thick athletic frame that is forever on the move: he bounces onstage to demonstrate high-jumping technique or prowls the auditorium calling out sudden changes in the script. He carves the air with the sweeping gestures of an orchestra conductor, comes to roost like a stork, one leg cocked, on the rail...
...information that won him $264,000 on The $64,000 Challenge. But whether the legislators were fooled by the champion or not, last week another Government agency got hold of Teddy.

Five days last week, he was underwater for an hour morning and afternoon on the elevator job. "To break the monotony," he passed up the sure-thing $150-a-day fee on two of those days to look for - and find - a 1,800-lb. anchor lost by the government ice breaker Alexander Henry last fall. That treasure made his Superior Diving & Salvaging Co. $650 richer...
