- Bernard (who is in his 80s and suffering from Parkinson's) was a fierce, demanding parent. He once reduced Eliot to tears during a game of Monopoly...

"He didn't realize his own rights," Bernard told [Spitzer biographer] Brooke Masters years later, adding that he had taught his son a lesson: "Never defer to authority."
