...argued: a statement on U.S. policy in the Pacific was beyond MacArthur's authority, and furthermore MacArthur was full of hot air. The U.S. had not held Formosa during World War II, Acheson argued,* and the U.S. had not been forced then to fall back on the Golden Gate. But primarily, Acheson deplored the timing. At that very moment, he reminded the group, the State Department was trying to get the United Nations, despite Malik, to adopt the neutralizing of Formosa as U.N.'s own formal policy. Warren Austin appeared to be making some progress along that line...

For 40 years "the King" had taught the boys classics and the Bible, led the hymns each morning in his booming bass voice. He had been a familiar figure galloping along the riding trails in jodhpurs and long English jacket, or driving pell-mell along country roads in his old Dodge touring car. But one day last week, more than 500 Santa Barbara schoolboys, parents and alumni gathered in the school gym to hear Headmaster Gate talk about one more change...
