...Palm Beach early in the week (she flew up to Washington later), Kennedy climbed aboard his twin-engined Convair Caroline for a quick trip to the capital. As the plane turned northward, Kennedy removed his coat, slouched down in his seat behind a desk, drank a glass of milk and sawed away at a medium-rare filet of beef.

He finds comedy in everyday trials-a frustrating conversation with a child who keeps hanging up the phone, a speck of dirt in a glass of milk, TV commercials, a dentist ominously taking X rays.
