Nixon usually has little pocket money and relies on Secret Service aides for a $70 tie fund. Rose Woods handles his bills and the couple files a joint tax return. He enjoys theater, dining, Saturday movies, and Potomac cruises aboard the Sequoia. He drinks, makes martinis, and prefers wines over champagne.
