61.) Short

Leonard was not a short man, in fact he was actually an inch or so taller than his friend. Yet the longer he knew Jim, there were moments when the kid made him feel like he was the short and young one. And then he became captain.

Even though Jim still made him feel small at times, he was no longer the only one. Now the kid had an entire crew that he could make feel small and insignificant. Even better, as CMO he seemed to have a similar effect on the crew. All but Jim, yet that didn't really matter since the threat of a hypo never failed to make the kid behave.
