e had a lovely dinner party and Malcolm Forbes came. He was always a lot of fun and a great raconteur. After dinner, we went to the living room for dessert and coffee. Soon, we heard all these motorcycles come roaring up to the house. Malcolm jumped up and said, “Leonard, Allison, this has been lovely, but I’ve got to go,” and he left. We all looked out the window and watched as a kid handed Malcolm his helmet and a leather jacket, and Malcolm and the rest of them roared off into the night on their Harley-Davidsons. I guess you’d call them the Forbes Angels.
