...once operated a sporting-goods store and now raises rare orchids in his palace gardens, inscribed his name in a silver-bound book. Last week he went before Malaya's democratically elected Parliament to announce some good news. Come July, the emergency declared twelve years ago to combat Communist subversion and terror will officially end. Said the new king: "Restrictions on our liberty and livelihood [which] have become almost a part of our daily lives" will finally be lifted from the entire country...
...under each wing. Air Force Captain Jay L. McDonald, 36, piloted the bomber over Cincinnati, Lake Superior, Hudson Bay and to the North Pole; then he wheeled it back all the way to Florida and unleashed one of the Hound Dogs.

He survived 50 actions and almost as many uniforms-for the poet used his prestige to transform himself at will into a cavalry lieutenant, an infantry officer, a combat airman, and he conferred on himself the navy title of comandante. He lost the sight of one eye landing his aircraft and sank a merchantman from a torpedo boat. To the end he remained the most bellicose of belligerents, complaining only "of the stench of peace." Rant & Rave. The peace...
