breaks on some days for short business-cum-lunch chats with his lawyer-consultant als Douglas Judah and partner Harry Randall, and a tight little circle of businessmen who monopolize one of Myrtle Bank's summer houses daily. uback to office in a gray Plymouth sedan, or his Town & Country (a flashy new plywood job also by Chrysler), Abe rides on the seat's edge, hunched forward. e would rather fly, so precious he regards time, so impatient is he of distance.

Worried about his once-athletic waistline, Abe would like to take time off for "some workouts in a gym or some such place". But he bandies back to friends who say "Take it easier, boy"; "Let the waistline have its way. It's not the most important thing in my life right now".

While placing Fleischmann's Yeast and "Royal products high in bakers' and housewives' favour, he had made friends all up and down the line from gardeners to governors, policemen to politicians.
