Denfeld's outburst startled a few people. Navy Secretary Francis Matthews hurried from the room, speechless. General Omar Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, tore up his prepared statement and started over again. The Army hastily summoned Chief of Staff General Joe Lawton Collins back from Japan to testify in rebuttal. This week, too, the Air Force would at last have...

Earlier this year, as the Greek army launched its summer offensive, Van Fleet had predicted that Greece's Red guerrillas would be wiped out before year's end (TIME, Aug. 22).
