...layman's idea that because an automobile tire or piston wears out, so eventually must human organs, is only half true. In the youthful, still growing organism, cells divide rapidly, and all the components of the body (except nerve cells) are not only quickly added to, but also constantly replaced at the most intimate molecular level.

Any conclave of hungry and thirsty humans was his meat. "I won Goodyear Tire & Rubber over to pink champagne," he once boasted to a companion. Unexcelled at spreading a gourmet's table, even for the American Trucking Associations, he delighted in explaining to slightly befuddled clients that turtle soup was a better first course than melon prosciutto for the simple reason that melon prosciutto was undignified...
