...second week the pace was more than fast; it was almost frantic. Usually the new President was up by 8 o'clock. Usually there were breakfast conferences, followed by long sessions with assorted aides and task forces. There was the first meeting with the National Security
Gelatin & Diaper. For breakfast Chimp No. 65 got an ounce of baby cereal, 4 oz. of condensed milk, cooking oil, gelatin, vitamins and half an egg. Then he was wired for recording instruments, dressed in a baby diaper and strapped on his back on a personally fitted contour couch, his arms left free. The environmental control system (air pressure, oxygen, temperature, etc.) was much the same as for a human astronaut...
They did not succeed. Hughes called Breech at breakfast the day of last week's scheduled meeting and informed him that he no longer favored enlarging the board.

Then, brown paper lunch bag on the seat beside him, he drives to work in a two-toned Karmann-Ghia. Although lunch is slim-a sardine sandwich, an olive, a cooky and a glass of skim milk-Keys eats with deliberate slowness. "I don't like to insult food," he says. Lunch done, he sits back, closes his eyes, and goes to sleep for exactly ten minutes in his office...
