...photographer, as he never does at the Pentagon. After posing with the landowner, he stood still for a shot with a G.I. Later an aide lamely explained: "After all, McNamara knows we're holding the maneuvers on private property. So a landowner down here rates higher than a four-star general in the Pentagon...
Among Soviet spies and saboteurs, the most feared and hated adversary is British Secret Agent 007, alias James Bond. Even by British standards, hardboiled, hard-drinking Bond is a pukka cad who divides his time between bedding beautiful women, downing four-star meals and killing counter-bounders, all with the same cool, clinical skill.

When Lemnitzer moves up, probably in late September, his successor as Army Chief of Staff will be Four-Star General George Henry Decker, 58, who is even calmer and quieter than Lemnitzer. "You could set a bomb off under his desk and he wouldn't turn a hair," a fellow officer once said. He, too, specialized in logistics during World War II, but won a Silver Star...
