...worked until 5:30, downed a Scotch highball before dinner, often returned to his work at night. Usually in bed by 10:30, he often relaxed-as he had during the days of World War II decisions-with western novels, preferably those of Red Reeder, Luke Short and Max Brand, to "shut off the mind and stop the thinking process...
