...life as one long experience of culinary concern. As a child in Berkeley, Calif., he satisfied his early (and still strong) yen for fresh fruits by stealing apples, apricots and cherries from neighborhood orchards. Meals at home were varied and imaginative-"Mother was reputed to be a great cook''-but Ancel was not home much. Bright but unbridled, he disliked school, at ten spent three days camping with two young friends on the slopes of nearby Grizzly Peak. "We didn't see a solitary soul." says Keys. "Just hiked and ate.

Navy chemists know that animal fats break down during cooking and give off eye-irritating chemicals, so ship's cooks use vegetable fats instead of lard. Bleaches are forbidden in the ships' laundries; they release chlorine that would contaminate the atmosphere. Aerosol shaving creams are prohibited because of their Freon gas. Ship's doctors must guard their clinical thermometers carefully; if broken, their mercury might evaporate into deadly fumes. But as important as the air itself is the attention to the inner...
