He led them over to the fence of a feed lot where his 18 purebred Aberdeen Angus and two Holstein cattle were chewing their cuds. "Now let 'er go Dick!" he called to his driver Dick Flohr, who was seated in the President's special Crosley runabout. Driver Flohr touched a button and a horn let out a deep "mooooo."

Like the first shift before them, the boys are also being treated to Idella's digests of the classics, bedtime concerts of Brahms, Beethoven, etc. piped into their rooms, French lessons and word-building...
...document of the only war the U.S. ever ended at a disadvantage. Readers may conclude that Admiral Joy deserves 1) gratitude for helping to bring the U.S. out of the negotiations as well as he did, and 2) an additional award for having endured boredom above and beyond the call of duty...
