Lean, grey-thatched, soft-spoken Moses Annenberg, 58, has seven daughters so attractive that all have been married at one time or another. His one son Walter he is training to be a publisher. Moe Annenberg says he would not give a dollar for all the Old Masters in Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Annenberg place at Great Neck, L. L, once the estate of Actor George M. Cohan, teems with in-laws and grandchildren, is "like an old-fashioned Milwaukee home." In his office. Mr. Annenberg smokes cork-tipped Pall Mall cigarets from a loose pile on his desk, apologizes for his occasional profanity, belies his reputation of being a mean, unsociable skinflint. The Annenberg winter home in Miami Beach is gay, but when Mr. Annenberg goes to "Ranch A" (for Annenberg) in Wyoming he prefers to rest in comparative solitude. Sometimes when guests appear he goes away, leaves them in possession. Last June Republican Mr. Annenberg lent his ranch in absentia to South Dakota's Democratic Governor Tom Berry who gratefully used it to see that visiting New Dealer Rexford Guy Tugwell had a good time.
