Johnson brilliantly handled his role in the reconstruction under Chief of Staff Earle ("Bus") Wheeler, who was named Chairman of the Joint Chiefs in 1964. That July, reaching down past 43 three-and four-star generals with greater seniority, Defense Secretary McNamara chose Johnson as Army Chief of Staff. Johnson was awarded his fourth star...
Astounding Memory. In 1960, Jus tice Felix Frankfurter chose Amsterdam as his Supreme Court law clerk, the only non-Harvard man Frankfurter ever picked. It was a meeting of two omnivorous minds.

A ripping uppercut snapped Floyd's head back and turned his legs to rubber; a left hook drove him to his knees. Clay stood there watching, hands at his sides, as Floyd staggered to his feet at the count...
