Sipping an all white ice cream soda in a campus snack bar, Mike the Knife (as the press had begun to call him) said his elbows were clean; too bad about Bates, but he just couldn't stop. U.S.C.'s Coach Don Clark backed up his man, said that McKeever had performed "no misconduct," had played a "clean but aggressive game."

The cop and the fireman, who get as little as $2,400 annually, wash windows and work as handymen for a few extra dollars a week: the $3,000-a-year schoolteacher drives an ice-cream truck to send his son to college.

For years he kept a diary in which he jotted down every $2.70 dinner check, including "35? for ice cream." He has homes in California and Italy, but rarely uses them, prefers instead to run his vast Middle Eastern oil interests (TIME cover, Feb. 24, 1958) from the cheapest two-room suites in Paris' George V and London's Ritz Hotel. He has no personal servant, and it takes...
