Ingredient for Palship. Cohn's important Manhattan legal friends had been telling him for a long time that he should meet young David Schine, the son of J. Myer Schine, multimillionaire owner of a string of hotels and theaters. Cohn's old boss, Irving Saypol, got Dave and Roy together at a luncheon in a restaurant in downtown Manhattan in 1952. Dave Schine turned out to be a pleasant, articulate young man with the build and features of a junior-grade Greek god. The two 25-year-olds were soon cutting a wide swath through Manhattan...
...Schine family had put Dave through the best of Eastern schools (Fessenden to Andover to Harvard), where he got good grades-even though he irritated his schoolmates by his Cadillac standard of living and his bandleader's mannerisms.

(Favorite haunt: the Stork Club's Cub Room.) At McCarthy's wedding last September, Cohn pushed Schine into a family wedding picture (much to Joe's annoyance). This idyllic state of gamboling was suddenly interrupted last summer by the harsh note of a bugle: Gerard David Schine was about to be drafted into the U.S. Army...
