...regulations strike deep at arcane devices dear to the Senate parliamentarians. Many members often feign forgetfulness about whether they voted aye or nay and interrupt roll calls to ask whether their vote has been recorded and how they voted. This is a time-spinning maneuver, enabling habitual latecomers-notably including New York's Bobby Kennedy and Illinois' Charles Percy-to vote. Henceforth, this maneuver is out.

Pilots must feel their way in for landings with a ceiling of less than 100 ft.-even though Air Force standards call for a minimum of 300 ft.

The President, says Smith, has to make judgments on facts that may be only partially known. "Yet we tend to call it calculated deception if he does not instantly provide conclusive facts and admit failure. If he does not keep a frozen consistency, he is held to be lying. No government ever has been run that way and none ever will...
