...Lyndon Johnson adopted an interestingly amphibious approach to day and night. He stayed up late, to drink Scotch, or to choose bombing targets for missions over North Vietnam. Next day after lunch he would act as if it were bedtime. He would yawn, put on his pajamas, get into bed, and go to sleep. When he awoke, his body, much refreshed, thought it was time to start another day. Greedy Lyndon lived two days in the space of one. Guns and butter...

Said Bush: "This is a chance for me to tell the Prime Minister how dedicated my administration will be to an alliance that has made a huge difference in the world...
...this time we think you have a pretty good idea of undergraduate life. Now, forget about it. You'll never have to think about it again. Go to sleep. Wake up Harvard's next president. Realize this was all just a dream, a horrible, horrible dream. Sigh with relief. Yawn. Stretch. Start calling donors...
