...exercised by a shifty-eyed demagogue and Japanese puppet named Son Ngoc Thanh. After V-J day, Puppet Son Ngoc Thanh was sent to jail in France; the King enrolled as a student officer (honorary rank: brigadier general) at the French army's school of cavalry and armor. His Majesty was a brilliant student. He returned to his people in 1947 an excellent horseman, an accomplished linguist and an enthusiastic driver of fast sport cars...

Sawyer accused Comptroller General Warren of making "silly and untrue" statements. Wrote Sawyer: Warren simply wanted to create "a public impression that the Comptroller General, a knight in white armor, is defending the taxpayers from some nefarious plot to which I and the Maritime Board are parties ...

Mr. Adler may have provided his own criteria for what he chooses to call "Great Ideas," but he has yet to discover a criterion...
...publicly dismissed them as poorest scuttlebutt, and privately combed the ship's company for the robbers. Finally Rear Admiral A. K. Doyle, red-faced, made public the bluejackets' story. The mighty 45,000-ton Midway, protected by 137 planes, 180 guns and thousands of tons of steel armor-plate, had been taken from the inside. Nobody knew who the three robbers were or where the $3,000 had gone...
