Iacocca's life is not loaded with leisure. At Sinatra's house in Palm Springs he did see A Passage to India ("Too long"), and he is reading two books by fellow best-selling Italian Americans--Mario Puzo's The Sicilian and Leo Buscaglia's Loving Each Other. But in addition to doing the New York Times crossword puzzle, his main hobby seems to be hypochondria. After learning of an acquaintance's death not long ago, he shook his head and said gravely, "I've got to start guarding my health." In fact his health is under pretty tight security...
Among their leaves, he remained fixated on images of "natural" authority. Rousseau was less of a sweet fabulist than one is apt to suppose.

DeLaurier was apparently unaware that such devices are little more than short-range radio transmitters whose signals can sometimes be picked up by ordinary radio receivers. During the next month, the police say, they recorded more than 100 hours of incriminating conversations by DeLaurier about the sale of cocaine and marijuana. Then they arrested DeLaurier, his wife and 22 other people on drug charges. DeLaurier objected to the use of the tapes...
