How else does one describe a man whose father took him as a young boy to [[China]] and India and crossed the [[Khyber Pass]] into Burma, who plays Polo with the world class players in [[Argentina]],  who was taught to tap dance by Tommy Tune, who was married to Bob Hope's daughter and is now married to a former Russian ballerina, who was a college professor, who worked with Mike Wallace, Walter Cronkite and Gregory Peck?"
