...prestige had been sorely crippled in Korea, and this week all evidence pointed to a secret high-level decision that Korea was no place to repair it. It was noteworthy that the Eighth Army made no effort to throw a defense line across the peninsula; Eighth Army spokesmen denied any commitment to defend Seoul; and heavy equipment was being loaded rapidly onto ships at Inchon. If Korea were in fact abandoned, it could be done without abandoning the policy of punishing aggression. Mao's China could be effectively punished elsewhere-for example, by blockade and bombardment of the China...
Politics & the Police. Like that of all U.S. military government officers in North Korea, Munske's work is complicated by a high-level snafu. U.S. Civil Assistance Teams have been given no clearly defined political objectives, and each team is theoretically responsible only to the U.S. tactical commander in its area. In the Pyongyang area the 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team is trying to set up local administration in the small communities around the city. The airborne officers are working hard, but they are not trained for the work, and it seems doubtful that their efforts will have...

No specific overall figure was set down, but the understanding is that France (plus Indo-China) will receive between 30% and 40% of the $6 billion appropriated for MDAP...

Jim Glynn's application blank-embellished with a few more additions-was studded with so many achievements that ECA hired him on the spot at $12,000 a year and sent him to Greece. He did his usual competent job. But after five months, ECA suddenly told him his work was unsatisfactory and fired...
...brass, hounded by publishers and eager ghostwriters, combed memories, diaries and official records to get their stories on the record. Hard-boiled Major General Claire Chennault had a field day with U.S. blundering in China in Way of a Fighter, and General "Howlin' Mad" Smith lashed out at high-level boners in his story of what happened to his marines in the Pacific. General "Hap" Arnold's yarn-spinning Global Mission was twice too long but important for any student of the war in the air. Blunt, down-to-earth and unghosted was General George Kenney...
