...have tried harder than Jean Auel, the Oregon chronicler of Ice Age romance, to fathom the mysteries of Cro-Magnon life.

Because of his imposing physique (6 ft. 3 in., 240 lbs.) and gruff manner, the C-in-C (pronounced sink) is affectionately known as "the Bear" by subordinates and as "Stormin' Norman" by rival Pentagon brass.
