...Fuseli's pictures were so violent and his vanity so strong that his contemporaries came to look on him as a character from one of his own drawings. Benjamin Robert Haydon, the historical painter, wrote five years after Fuseli's death: "[He] was undoubtedly the greatest genius of his day . . . But in the modes of conveying his thoughts ... he was a monster . . .

Koje Island's new prison commandant, a first-class combat man, emerged last week as a soldier who could also use his wits in the most disagreeable of rear-area jobs. Boldly and shrewdly, Brigadier General Haydon L. Boatner had chosen Compound 76, scene of the Dodd-Colson coup, as the first to be tackled in bringing order to the prison. After the bloody battle in which Compound 76's 6,000 hard-core Communists were subdued (TIME, June 16), the other tough enclosures on Koje toppled like ninepins, with no further fighting between guards and prisoners...
