...claims to have derived his acute sense of rhythm from Chinese literature, its uniform stresses making him sensitive to slight variations in meter. And his desire to immerse himself in the moment without guilt about the past or ambition for the future, is no less Chinese. "The most beautiful thing is the concentration. When children see an object like an insect, a butterfly or a fruit, they have complete absorption in that object. And if you can capture that, that is beautiful...
...President, Costa Gomes has done away with much of the pomp and ceremony that previously surrounded the office. He rarely wears a uniform and is not excessively demanding of his staff, with whom he maintains a casual, non-military relationship.

...Ford beamed and chuckled and acted just as though he had forgotten it was his own 62nd birthday. His doctor had given him a checkup and pronounced him fit, and so did Comedian Flip Wilson, who came to the party as Nurse Geraldine in a red wig and white uniform. Nobody minded that a little fun was made of the President. On the walls there were cartoons of his spill on the steps of Air Force One when he arrived in Salzburg last June...
