...have everything he needed-the best clothes, a sleek, white Lincoln Continental, an eight-room Park Avenue apartment in which he maintained his attractive wife, Nancy, and their three children. But Fein, slender, bespectacled and Milquetoast-mild in appearance, frittered away a small fortune on a pair of extracurricular pursuits-gambling and Gloria Kendal. In her 37 years, the last 16 of them spent as a prostitute and a madam, Gloria has been known by at least 13 other proper names and by any number of improper ones.

Still another (Dean Jones) finds out he is sterile and drowns his sorrows in drink...
Tempo is the extracurricular work of two honor students at Denver's George Washington High School, Harold Goldberg, 18, and Richard Gould, 17. It was started on the strength of an earlier publishing success: the boys cleared $57 on a tabloid newspaper they sold throughout the city's eight high schools. To start their magazine, Goldberg and Gould first signed up 570 advance subscriptions, hustled ads from local merchants and talked the printer into a $200 loan. Tempo's debut absorbed all $720 of the starting capital, but Goldberg and Gould are already laying out two more...
