He goes fishing in the Sierras, gives talks at business men's meetings, plays golf and bridge. Dressed in golf trousers, an old sweater and a grey hat pulled far down on his grooved and sunburned face, he potters about the North Hollywood bungalow where he lives with his wife, son, and four-year-old daughter Carolyn, who sprawls about in a specially monstrous sandbox.
