What boasts six staterooms, quilted leather ceilings, a steam room, a screening room, 14 bathrooms, two Harley-Davidson motorcycles, two racing boats and, oh yes, a helicopter? (No peeking at the picture.) The answer, from the ever grand Malcolm Forbes, is a brand-new yacht he discreetly describes as "dramatically restrained, in quiet taste, nothing opulent." At least not for someone who collects million-dollar Faberge eggs for fun.

"I pledge a government dedicated to upholding truth and justice, morality and decency, freedom and democracy...
Garbed in a black skirt, leather cowboy boots and pearls--quite a contrast from the Amish habit she donned for Witness--the svelte blond-haired actress leaned forward in her chair, taking a long drag on her cigarette. "This is only what I believe, you know. There are no rules in acting. Everyone is an individual who has to make his own choices...
