Lifestyles Blazing trails thrills David Frost (Editor's Note: This is the final article in a two-part series on David Frost Nixon interviewer.) What makes David Frost run? Why does discontent dog him when he has achieved high levels of success? The questions set him rambling about his parents, his upbringing, his religion, and, of course, his insatiable appetite for new glories. First he speaks in broad generalization: "I've always been interested in frontiers. I like innovations.

There is something irresistable about major risks. It is thrilling to blaze trails." He gets more specific: "My parents inculcated two thoughts in my mind. It was not done consciously, mind you, it was more like residual impacts "They told me to have tremendous feeling for the individual." (In an aside, he says that's the impetus that compelled him to focus unrelentingly on Nixon, the individual). "And my parents always told me that I never had to accept second best. The Bible says all Marian Christy things are possible to those who believe in God." "I believe," he says, getting to the heart of the question, "that all things are possible for those who wish to make them so." Then he adds convincingly: "He who does not believe in miracles is a practical realist." David Frost has a lingering "lover boy" reputation.

He has dated Mary Wilson, a singer formerly with the Supremes; actress Carol Lynley; Rita Faria, a former Miss World; English singer Julie Felix and, of course, Diahann Carroll.

Dreamy desserts are perfect in springtime Wednesday, Journal; Salina NEW YORK Spring i is the time for sweet fantasies and for many of us, our fantasies may take the form of throwing caution to the winds to indulge in a dream dessert. Here are three treats that look and taste "fancy," but are wonderfully simple to fix.

Each begins with a natural, precooked and preblended food base sweetened condensed milk. It's rich and creamy. and It's a handy beginning for all kinds of heavenly recipes. Strawberry angel dessert is light clouds with silken texture and a delicate hint of richness. It's easy to build castles in the air and to construct a pistachio cookie torte, starting with four giant sugar cookies.

Sweetened condensed milk in the filling helps provide creamy consistency and a happy flavor blend.

In what seemed like a rebound situation, Ms. Carroll married Freddie Glusman, a dress shop operator from whom she separated in four months. Then, a month before turning 40, she married Robert DeLeon, 26, in June 1975. DeLeon, editor of Jet magazine, was killed in an automobile accident in April 1977 when his Ferrari careened off a cliff. Frost managed to smooth the Carroll breakup into a bittersweet parting.

"We didn't end the relationship mad at each other," she said in 1974. In the next breath she said she had removed the diamonds from the "love" pin Frost had given her as if to erase the word, love. Now the name Diahann Carroll emerges into the conversation. Frost winces. The wince freezes.

"Believes in privacy" "I don't discuss my private life," he says icily. "I do believe in privacy," says the man who pounded Nixon. Later, he says he is "old-fashioned" about the concept of marriage. For him it has "forever" overtones. The notion is scary.

He lightens the subject. "I have been incredibly fortunate," he says. "I've had a series of terrific relationships with terrific ladies." The punchline is delivered with equanimity. "I've never thought to myself: This is for eternity." David Frost says he's got the question of the money in perspective. "I am a minister's son," he reiterates.

"I have grown up. without money. Money is not essential to happiness. Money is not an indispensible god. It's a delightful bonus.

I am not enslaved by money." Frost maintains a three-story house in a posh section of London, a six-room suite in a Manhattan hotel, and has everything else money can buy. "But," he explains, "I had no money in college. I hitchhiked a lot. It wasn't easy. There were a couple of celebrated highway murders.

Besides, I had a lot of food bills to pay at Miller's Wine Parlor. So I played a comic in the cabarets." David Frost, who's now smoking a smelly cigar, is on the threshhold of turning 40. "Some people think it's the gateway to senility," he kids. "I still feel 28. Twenty-eight is a good age.

It's enough time to have had some experience and enough energy to take advantage of it," he says about close en counters. I've made landmarks," he says, switching from dalliances to career. "I've sensed what the launching pads could be for me and I've pursued them." Later he says what he has always said: "I'd like to invent a 48-hour day. Women Today In the absence of that," he rat-a-tats somewhat loftily, "I don't waste time." The subject of time has popped up because the interview is winding down. "I am puritanical about time," Frost continues.

"I don't waste it. I know that I've sometimes squandered time. I don't intend to make that mistake again." David Frost is simply playing himself. The wit is instantaneous, sharp, delivered with bull's-eye precision. He has admitted a lust for work and women.

He is a man jauntily walking a tightrope between honest pride and egotism. If he falls, it would be in a pool of arrogance. enough to know that pose would be exaggerated by the cameras and would disenchant a public which still considers him a fascinator. "I always learn from my mistakes without admitting I ever made them," he says cannily. "I do not indulge in self-flagellation." And he's off and running.

But not before kissing his interviewer's cheek.
