After hours, Peter reads extensively about business and politics; admires Mandella and Aung San Suu Kyi; recommends the Austrian Economists (von Mises, Hazlitt) and thinks Ron Paul (The Revolution) has the answers to America's malaise. He also enjoys Jazz (from early Louis Armstrong to Charlie Hayden), watching films (would have loved to emulate Meryl Streep's management style in The Devil wears Prada but never dared). He has played weekly tennis with the same group of friends for over 30 years. He also plays royal tennis and the occasional game of Chess.
