Fitzsimmons, 68, who could scarcely support a life-style that includes golfing dates with Richard Nixon on his old salary of $125,000 (plus perks like an executive jet and an unlimited expense account).

Meyer Berger, in his Story of the New York Times, wrote that scarcely a season went by between 1923 and 1949 that the paper did not offer "some first-hand account of man's thrilling air, sea and land conquests...
