After a few days she returned to her vigorous regimen: early morning Mass, a noontime swim in her pool or in Nantucket Sound, and a solitary afternoon of golf on the back nine of the Hyannisport Club. In between, she devotes time to her heavy correspondence, her work in behalf of the mentally retarded, and reading. She has received books on Greek history from Jackie Onassis, and an invitation to go on to Greece on her forthcoming visit to Paris to see her daughter Eunice and her son-in-law, U.S. Ambassador Sargent Shriver...
Gordonstoun is anything but luxurious. Dormitories are stark and functional. The daily regimen, while it pays due deference to academic achievement, ordains two cold showers a day, student-labor details (Charles, more often than not at first, drew the garbage detail), and plenty of toughening outdoor sports. The Prince was not cosseted. One of his teachers made a point of referring to him as "Charlie-boy," and on the rugby field he was hit hard, often deliberately. He made few close friends.

It was expensive, though-"about $2,000 a pound," said Cass, explaining that her regimen (four days of complete fasting per week) finally put her in the hospital and forced her to cancel $250,000 worth of bookings. "The Mama Cass diet can give you acute tonsillitis, hemorrhaging vocal cords, mononucleosis and a case of hepatitis," she said. And now? "Lose 55 more pounds-then...
...will probably end up in Germany next season. Cochran has offers from the Stuttgart and Munich operas, and Russell wants to learn the language while developing his technique in a Wagnerian atmosphere. Meantime, Melchior took them both in tow after the audition for a basic introduction to the Heldentenor regimen: a trip to a Danish restaurant in Manhattan for smorgasbord, aquavit and beer in truly heroic quantities...
