ABSTRACT

I have borrowed the above title from the autobiography of Nabur Gul-benkian, who was one of the richest oil men in the world. He steadfastly followed the credo “I believe in comfort. I enjoy myself. I enjoy life. I enjoy everything I do.” According to his obituary in the New York Times-certainly the most jocular obituary the Times ever published-Mr. Gulbenkian was once asked whether he preferred old brandy or young women, horses or Rolls Royces, city life or country life. After stroking his beard a moment, he replied: “I prefer everything.”
