Mr. Paley frequently visited his estate in the Bahamas, kept up a lively social life and was active in civic roles, notably as longtime president and trustee of the Museum of Modern Art. He began collecting art in the 1930's and the walls of his Fifth Avenue apartment, his estate in Manhasset and his suite at Black Rock (as the CBS headquarters, designed by Eero Saarinen, is popularly known) were hung with the works of artists ranging from Cezanne to Pollock. One of the first sights a guest saw on entering the Paley apartment was Picasso's "Boy With Horse.""It's got to be something that hits me," he said of his art collecting. "I used to say to myself, 'Don't buy it unless you can't live without it.' "When he dismissed Bates Lowry as the Modern's director in 1969, another trustee, Ralph Colin, protested. Mr. Paley then discharged Mr. Colin as counsel to CBS and to himself, ending a 40-year relationship. Mr. Colin said that he had told Mr. Paley he hoped they would remain friends, and that Mr. Paley had replied, "I have never regarded you as a friend -- only as an employee." (English)

Mr. Paley is to American broadcasting "as Carnegie was to steel, Ford to automobiles, Luce to publishing and Ruth to baseball," wrote Donald West in The New York Times in 1976. "None has yet been succeeded in kind." (English)
