...wrote my dispatch on the defenses of Asia for TIME and then, provocatively, sent it upstairs from my room at the Manila Hotel to his penthouse suite. I had written that after three months of seeing all the generals -American, French, Dutch, English-in Southeast Asia, by far the best in every respect was General Douglas MacArthur, U.S. Army, retired.
