...Marine Corps every four years, the selection this year crackled with suspense. Three individualistic generals-each highly qualified to be the nation's top Marine-were in open contention for the post, and Lyndon Johnson delayed for more than two months beyond the traditional September announcement date before choosing one of them. Last week the President ended the suspense by picking self-effacing Lieut. General Leonard F. Chapman Jr. to succeed Commandant Wallace M. Greene Jr. on the first of the year...

The funeral Mass - concelebrated by nine cardinals, two archbishops, seven bishops and one priest*- was conducted entirely in English, in accordance with recent reforms of the postconciliar church. The predominant liturgical color of the service was penitential purple rather than funeral black -reflecting the tone, attuned more toward hope than sadness or mourning, of modern Catholic funerals.
