Primary Evidence
"According to one long-standing acquaintance of Milken, his wife, Lori, had made him promise that on his vacation he would not work from 9 A.M. on; so Milken took his family to Hawaii, where he slept for a few hours in the late evening, rose at 1 or 2 A.M. and worked until 9 A.M.—by which time it was 2 P.M. in New York and most of the business day was over."
