...Gustaf himself, Europe's most indestructible monarch began the day with his usual breakfast: the yolks of a couple of two-and-a-half-minute eggs, one Dutch biscuit and a glass of tea. Then he put in 15 hours of celebration and ceremony. "My legs are just a bit weak," he admitted after a lurching false step in the throne room, "but otherwise I feel fine." Late that night, when he strode out on to the palace balcony to greet his people for the fourth time, his daughter-in-law the Crown Princess Louise gaped in wonder...
...narrow victory: "My racket felt like a baseball bat." Two days later he squared off against ex-Champion Don Budge. Again Big Jake was carried to five sets. Budge's famous backhand was never better, but at 33, his stamina was not so good. Despite all the tea and sugar he consumed, Budge collapsed in the fifth set, won only one point...
...Future. Even with Bocchiccio picking up the tab, Walcott is one of the skimpiest eaters big-time heavyweight boxing has ever known. After a five-mile run he breakfasts on prunes, two eggs, a lamb chop, tea and toast. Then comes a mile walk, a nap until noon (he eats no lunch) and seven rounds' workout in the afternoon.

No creed or doctrine was necessary. "Absolute Honesty, Absolute Purity, Absolute Unselfishness and Absolute Love" were the Buchmanite requirements, plus regular "quiet times" for listening...
...weak heart (which caused him to cancel his announced U.S. trip this spring), Gide is still a prodigious worker. He is up at 6:30 every day, writes steadily until 9, works with a secretary until noon. After lunch and a nap he writes again until 5, has tea and receives friends. He hates to lose at solitaire or chess, loves the movies. A voracious reader, he rates Dashiell Hammett with Faulkner and Steinbeck, was greatly impressed by the Kinsey Report...
