...panic, I told myself. This is not a real cockpit, but a computer simulation of an American plane so classified that the Pentagon refuses even to admit that it exists. Although the Air Force is about to unveil its B-2 Stealth bomber, deep secrecy surrounds the smaller but equally advanced F-19, also known as the Stealth fighter. Even so, aviation buffs who study the Pentagon know a great deal about the covert craft. Novelist Tom Clancy featured it in his best seller Red Storm Rising, and Testor Corp. is selling detailed plastic-model F-19 kits...
...took a couple of hits, and my plane went into a dive. Before bailing out, I loosed a Maverick in the general direction of Benghazi, unfortunately destroying a nearby village in the process. But as I drifted toward Libya in my parachute, I knew my next move. All I had to do was tap a few keys, go back to the program's main menu and choose another mission.

She called Fuller, who told her to be on Air Force Two the next afternoon for Bush's return to New Hampshire. Sitting next to Bush on the plane, she tried to make sense of what he was trying to say about himself. His hands fluttered near his chest, as if seeking his heart, and he said softly, "I guess we've got to get more of me out there." Working all night in her hotel room, Noonan cobbled...
Bush gained confidence as he studied each memorandum. One morning, when the scheduled summary did not arrive, he testily told an aide to get it within an hour. On the plane to the second debate, an aide wandered to the front of Air Force Two and discovered the Vice President talking out loud to himself, conducting a spirited, imaginary dialogue with his Democratic opponent. Bush's new self-teaching method, said one aide, allowed him to "concentrate on being himself, being natural...
