Nowadays he assembles intricate collages ("my workout"), and his architectural drawings are collectors' items. He also cuts an impressive figure in person. With his dark-rimmed glasses and conservative suits, offset by a flowing white mane, he looks as though he had designed himself...

During the day the network seems determined to pander to the presumed interests of housewives. Thus contests were bypassed for irrelevant visits to a celebrity workout center and the Golden Door spa. The nadir may have been a demonstration by Vidal Sassoon of his hair styles for athletes; on the other hand, the coifs were a smash hit with the Olympians...
