...Boom-Bah! A fortnight ago, nearly 31 years and some 7,000 miles from Princeton, 18 college boys in their mid-50s, headed by Princeton's head football coach and Class of '25 President Charles Caldwell, got out of a plane at Tokyo's Haneda Airport. With this orange-jacketed contingent were 13 wives, a departed User's widow, two classmates' sons. Instead of traveling farthest to his class's 1956 reunion, Seaweed Osawa, Mohammed-like, had persuaded part of the reunion to come to him. He had sent invitations to more than...
Last month France's No. 1 soldier, Marshal Alphonse Juin, visited Korea, and paid particular attention to U.S. methods of training South Koreans. Last week General Mark Clark, U.N. Supreme Commander in the Far East, boarded his Constellation at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, and took off for Indo-China...

...never stirred Americans, he stirred Asians. At Haneda Airport, he was mobbed by Japanese photographers; shaving in his bathroom at the Fujiya Hotel, he glanced out to see a photographer training a long-distance lens on him. He was the man who had come to liberate Japan. But bitterness also followed him. In the Philippines, he was lampooned on the radio and burned in effigy. He flew to Australia, New Zealand, Paris and London...
