If he kept his nose clean for a couple of months the President would be able to get rid of the embarrassment without acknowledging being embarrassed. James Watt knows this, so he goes out at regular intervals and does something outrageous so that the President has to not fire him again. scott preece pur-ee!uiucdcs!uicsl!preece
