...observer. While Adenauer watched silently from a corner of the table, the council swiftly ground through its business. It approved a protocol inviting West Germany to join NATO and a resolution giving the Supreme Allied Commander Europe added powers to station troops and establish supply bases wherever he chose. Mendès haggled politely over what military items Germany was to manufacture, but dropped his expected demand that German forces be "integrated" at the division level, and accepted instead integration at army group (200,000 men) or army (100,000 men) levels.

(for Christian) Mayer, one of West Point's major institutions. For 43 years, regardless of what changing taste in church music might dictate, Mayer chose such rousing processionals as Onward, Christian Soldiers and America, the Beautiful so that his cadet choir could march in properly. He remembers all the boys who sang in the choir (including General Matthew B. Ridgway, Lieut. Generals Lyman L. Lemnitzer and Frank F. Everest) and claims he can recognize...
