p. 83 "To the tune of Cornell's alma mater"-----a bit of TRP self-criticism about his own role at Boeing? A--and, a first note in OBA's
later constant linking of the best universities with.....the military-industrial complex and, in ATd, with more...

Mr. Clayton "Bloody' Chiclets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiclets. Trademark: Candy you grew up with! Now BIG outside of America. Chiclets is in V., of course, where he ran a toy company. Now, in the grow and conglomerate way, the toys are Boeing creations. Adult "toys", so to savagely imply. 
 
I actually remember a kid from my 'hood saying once "how'd you like a mouthful of bloody chiclets?"  He was joking and must have got it from the older kids. 
 
Clayton. Associations: Ton of Clay? Feet of Clay? Ton of Clay sorta mean huge bag of dirt?
