The Army does not state whether the peyote rites must end in time for reveille...
...translated into nearly 60 languages), Singer remains a uniquely accessible celebrity. The phone rings constantly. Friends, fans and total strangers turn up at the roomy West Side Manhattan apartment that he shares with Alma, his wife for 38 years.
