...assigned to the President sat around fidgeting over the lack of any spot news. In what was intended as a broad hint of their impatience, they staged a mock welcome for Press Secretary Charles Ross and Personal Secretary Matthew Connelly, who arrived to spend a few days with the boss. Sheets, shorts, undershirts and pants were strung across a street on the Navy's Key West submarine base.

Nelson, an imaginative Minnesotan who writes short stories in his spare time, says: "You don't just sit there and fly. You think." Flying for United, Nelson thought the airlines were overlooking too much contract business. After the war (in which he served as civilian pilot in the Air Transport Command), he and 14 other pilots rented twelve surplus Army planes and later raised...
