...fear of causing such a crash or a collision ?known with studied casualness as creating an "aluminum shower"?puts the controllers under tremendous strain from the time they clear a jet for takeoff until they guide it to a landing (see diagram).

Lyndon Johnson, for instance, worked an early shift of eight hours, took a two-hour nap in the late afternoon, then stepped into a cold shower that pummeled him back to consciousness, after which he worked eight more hours. Richard Nixon by that measure was rather lazy, but he was so intimidated by his predecessor that his staff strove frantically to cover up the time he spent resting or brooding...
