Beck's day begins at 6:45 a.m. He plunges his well-sueted body into his heated swimming pool, pounds through a breast stroke for 30 minutes, then turns to a little weight lifting and to pedaling on his stationary bicycle before breakfast. After that, it is work, work, work on some current real estate deal that invariably produces money, money, money. He has two cars at his disposal (a 1959 white Thunderbird, a Continental Mark III), and in the evenings he sometimes watches movies on the CinemaScope screen in his basement...
...personifies Judaism as "Mr. Abramson" disappearing down a broad highway at the wheel of a high-powered station wagon, with the golf clubs piled in the back.

After lunch, he took an hour-long nap, then 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...
...Anything . . ." Up early next morning, Ike had a leisurely breakfast in his three-room suite on Balmoral's ground floor, met the royal family in a drawing room for a final chat, then with Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Princess Anne, walked out of the castle onto the closely cropped lawn. As a group of reporters and photographers (admitted to the grounds under a pool arrangement) approached, Ike put his hand on Princess Anne's blonde head. Asked he: "Are you going to learn to cook?" The Queen answered for her daughter: "I'll send...
