He owns all or part of a Colorado lead mine, a Mexican magnesium plant, nine producing oil wells in Oklahoma and Texas, a low-voltage wiring company, a modeling school, a roller-skating arena, a gas well and a batch of California apartments. The only shadow on his contentment is cast by certain radio & TV critics who, Art' complains, "look down their noses at my type of show." Says he: "We don't pretend to be Studio One. But they ought...
