...Peter Rabbit diner I met Brisket, who owns the big motel by the interstate, and Graftwell, the paving contractor. They were having lunch with the Town Fool, one of our town's two registered Democrats.

Short as it was, the President's letter summarized his admiration for the co-architect of American strategy: without Marshall in Washington, he said, he could not sleep at night. In fact, that justifiable anxiety cost Marshall the job he so greatly coveted: Supreme Commander in Europe, which went instead...
