Every morning around 8:30 he parks his five-year-old Lincoln convertible in front of the White House, strolls into the Presidential bedroom, insinuates himself into the daily bedside bull session. Having done his morning chore, he becomes Surgeon General of the U.S. Navy and spends the rest of the day bossing his wartime staff of 140,000. Each afternoon, he checks up at the White House again...
