The CIA can only hope their record keeping is as accurate and complete as Bob Graham's
Here is a blast from the past.

Al Gore may be Washington's best known control freak, but when it comes to minutiae, he has nothing on Bob Graham, who these days appears on nearly everyone's short list of possible Gore running mates. The Florida Senator has been filling notebook after notebook--close to four thousand of them to date, color coded by season. He has kept a running account of his every waking moment for the past 23 years--14 in the Senate, eight in the Governor's mansion, even his days in the state legislature. Graham writes down every meal, every meeting, every person he meets. No item is too small. "I would rather have more detail than less," Graham told TIME. On the September day in 1994 his daughter Cissy gave birth to a son, his notebook read:

8:25: Awaken at MLTH (Miami Lakes Town House)

8:45-9:35: Kitchen, family room. Eat breakfast, branola cereal with peach

9:35-9:40: Complete dressing. Watch Meet the Press

9:25-9:50: Drive to ABC studio

9:50-11:00: Makeup and prepare for interview

11:35-11:40: Talk with security

11:40-12:05: Drive to MLTH. Discuss Nicaragua

12:05-12:20: MLTH bedroom, bathroom, change to red shorts

12:20-1:20: MLTH kitchen, family room. Eat lunch (tuna salad). Watch Ace Ventura

12:50: Cissy thinks she's going into labor

1:15: Cissy preparing to leave for Baptist Hospital

1:20-1:30: MLTH. Bedroom, bathroom. Dress in blue slacks

1:30-1:45: Rewind Ace Ventura
