> sometimes acted as a courier, taking documents to the White House.

> One evening I was dispatched with a package to the lower level of the 
> West Wing of the White House, where there was a little waiting area near

> came in and sat down near me. His suit was dark, his shirt white and his 
> necktie subdued. He was probably 25 to 30 years older than I and was

> distinguished-looking and had a studied air of confidence, the posture 
> and calm of someone used to giving orders and having them obeyed instantly.
