"pep pills" or "co-pilots"-to over-the-road truck drivers, they had to work as truckers themselves. The FDA men usually operate without disguise, but the FBI taught them tricks of undercover work, and trucking-company representatives gave them tips on trucking.

In three years he has traveled an estimated half a million miles around the U.S., consulting the party brass, greeting the voters (he has an elephantine memory for names, faces and telephone numbers), giving pep talks to sagging local organizations, and keeping the Republican machine in good working order. In Washington he has exercised his talent for lowering ceilings by consolidating the national committee's office space, whittling down the permanent staff, thus saving $300,000 a year in rents and payroll costs. He meets nearly every day with the President...
