Here is a sample of how * behaves at serious high-level meetings.

"Ten days before his inauguration, Dubya, Dick Cheney, Donald 'Rummy' Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell went to the Pentagon to meet with outgoing Defense Secretary William Cohen. Afterward, Dubya and company headed "downstairs to the Tank, the secure domain and meeting room for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.... Bush asked some practical questions about how things worked, but he did not offer or hint at his desires. The Joint Chiefs' staff had placed a peppermint at each place. Bush unwrapped his and popped it into his mouth. Later he eyed Cohen's mint and flashed a pantomime query, Do you want that? Cohen signaled no, so Bush reached over and took it. Near the end of the hour-and-a-quarter briefing, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Army Gen. Henry H. Shelton, noticed Bush eyeing his mint, so he passed it over."
