...Page One, at least, it looked as if Louis Johnson was making fast progress towards unifying the armed forces. But there were plenty of skeptics who asserted that unity was still only headline-deep. Last week as his No. 1 assistant, publicity-conscious Louis Johnson surprised everybody by picking a publicity man: Franklin D. Roosevelt's old press secretary, Stephen T. Early. Congress had newly created the job of Under Secretary of Defense to give Johnson a workhorse general manager. (World Bank President John J. McCloy was offered the job, but turned it down.)

As dawn broke hot and clear over the San Gabriel Mountains, the snorting, clangorous power shovels had dug a pit 57 feet deep.

Then, head down, he started churning, with a fast arm but a slow, deep kick that is uncommon to sprinters. A pinwheel fast turn and a lung-busting finish did the trick as usual. When Wally's big hand touched the tile 51.4 seconds after the start, he could add another A.A.U. championship to his collection of titles (fortnight ago, he was voted...
