...then I spotted your name in FORTUNE, which listed you among the roughly 150 Americans who now have at least $100 million the crowd isn't so small, after all. How few of them I know! Many of these super-rich seem to be technological arrivistes. Your own fascinating rise from obscurity (forgive me) typifies the phenomenon. Even though you graduated from Caltech with honors (in 1953!), who ever expected that your invention of some electronic what's-it-scope would lead to your having your own company and then to your being bought...
Ballrooms, no; projection rooms, yes. Poolrooms are back, and pools never went away you will probably want both an indoor and an outdoor one, and the same goes for tennis courts. If you have a separate playhouse, which isn't a bad idea, it will be no trouble to fit in a squash court and a bowling alley, as well as an extra sauna.

It ought to be revolting, but it isn't. The drawing style has some of the wonderful, way-out whimsy of Thurber and the deceptive, squiggly-line bite of Jules Feiffer, while the dialogue is reminiscent of an Elaine May-Mike Nichols routine...
EARLIER THAT DAY Waller lounged on his hotel bed, fiddling with the volume controls on a radio tuned into WBCN. He is quiet, sensitive, faintly pleased. "What do you think of American white rock, Country Joe, the Grateful Bead?". "A bit tame isn't it?" and one suddenly realized that he was right. Waller said he thought English groups were so much more aggressive and alive, able to pick up the mantle from the great black blues and rock musicians of the past because their members are all from the same particularly troubled English generation that was born during...
