Alexander's humiliation derived from his bold backing of Lieut. Commander Marcus Aurelius Arnheiter, the hyper-zealous skipper of the radar picket destroyer U.S.S.

Predictably, it has drawn its quota of quips, being labeled variously "the blockhouse," "an upside-down pagoda," and "the tomb of Cheops." But informal polls indicate that an increasing number of secretaries and taxi drivers are coming to like...
