...Fein had no weakness for television, he had a couple of others to make up for it. As president of his father's thriving tin-can and cardboard-box business, he seemed to have everything he needed-the best clothes, a sleek, white Lincoln Continental, an eight-room Park Avenue apartment in which he maintained his attractive wife, Nancy, and their three children. But Fein, slender, bespectacled and Milquetoast-mild in appearance, frittered away a small fortune on a pair of extracurricular pursuits-gambling and Gloria Kendal. In her 37 years, the last 16 of them spent...
...beautiful, and Max Steiner's busy background music puts every known human emotion into italics. Champagne flows. Famous critics stagger to their feet at parties, uttering dire absurdities about "the prime young stag hunted to death by rich hunters."

Lady Bird suffered through four miscarriages and faithfully nursed Lyndon back to sleek and robust health after a near-fatal heart attack in 1955. She has efficiently managed the family finances over the years, and proved that she had much of old Cap Taylor's business savvy when she bought and, with Lyndon's help, nurtured a floundering Austin radio station into a multimillion-dollar corporation. "She can read a balance sheet as well...
